Carbon profiling

Carbon profiling is a way of measuring how much carbon dioxide different places or things produce. Carbon dioxide is a gas that comes from burning things like coal, oil, and natural gas. It contributes to global warming, and we need to keep track of how much of it is in the atmosphere. Carbon profiling means measuring and recording the amount of carbon dioxide coming from different areas or activities. With this information, we can figure out ways to cut down on the amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere.
