(d) How does your footprint rate/rank/compare to others?
A carbon foot print is the amount of produce and resources you are using from the earth. It compares and contrasts your contribution to the greenhouse effect and your personal carbon foot print. This foot print rank shows that the energy usage of person A is very high. It can be gathered from the information above that in order for person A to live on planet earth four times the resources have to be used and consumed. It also shows that food wastage and consumption is the biggest contribution to persons A global footprint. This is high due to the high consumption of meat and animal products.

You can also choose to ride a bike once a day or once a week to reduce your carbon foot print
