What is Carbon Footprint ? / Carbon Footprints?

Due to the existing relation between the Co2 emission and global warming, some governments have taken some measures to try to stop the climate change. The result of these measures was the Kyoto Protocol, an agreement under which industrialized countries are committed to reduce their collective emissions of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, however, these gases can be reduced even more if each person commits him or herself to reduce carbon dioxide emission. One way of doing it is analyzing and reducing their carbon footprint.

The Carbon footprint refers to the amount of CO2 emitted by a company or a person when manufacturing or consuming a product.
Measured inCO2 tons, the carbon footprint shows us how we contribute to climate change every time we eat, turn on the light or buy clothes. As it shows the level of development in each country, its value differs from country to country, so for example, while an Indian ´s carbon footprint is 1, 2 tons, an Australian’s carbon footprint is 18 tons and of a Spanish person is 10.

In La Posta del Águila we believe that we can take care of the environment by reducing CO2 emission, so during the last 5 years, we have been working with the Carbon footprint, as a result we introduced new procedures to reduce energy, among others, and recently we introduced new products that aim at reducing CO2 and optimizing our carbon footprint.
