Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most common greenhouse gas which traps heat close to the Earth’s surface. It occurs through natural sources and processes including plant decay, volcanoes, and the breath of animals. However, it’s also produced by human activities. From on-the-go cups of coffee to morning commutes, modern life has resulted in us all having a personal carbon footprint - some way or another.
