Carbon emissions reporting is like telling a teacher how much candy you ate.
When we eat candy, we produce garbage in our body, and when we use energy from fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas, we produce carbon dioxide gas in the environment.
Just like we tell our teacher how many candies we eat, companies and governments need to tell other people how much carbon dioxide is released into the air because of their activities. This is called carbon emissions reporting.
It helps us understand how much carbon dioxide is going into the air, and what we can do to reduce it. Just like we can eat less candy or brush our teeth to keep our mouth clean, companies can try to use cleaner and more efficient ways to make things, to reduce their carbon emissions.
This is important because carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, which means it traps heat in the atmosphere and causes global warming. So, if we all work together to reduce carbon emissions, we can help protect our planet and make it a healthier place to live!
