Carbon neutrality refers to a balance between carbon emissions and carbon absorption from the atmosphere in carbon sinks. Carbon sequestration is the process of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it. All global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions must be offset by carbon sequestration in order to achieve net zero emissions. Although the term "carbon neutral" is used, a carbon footprint also includes other greenhouse gases, measured in terms of their carbon dioxide equivalence. The term climate-neutral reflects the broader inclusiveness of other greenhouse gases in climate change, even if CO2 is the most abundant. Carbon neutral activities is the one that has a carbon footprint of zero. Our carbon neutrality is measured measured by our lifestyle and regular activities that results in greenhouse gas emission . some of the most common example of these lifestyle factors and activities include ;

·        Transport use

·        Electricity use

·        Dietary use

·        Purchasing habits

·        General waste

The greater your carbon footprint, the more you contribute to global warming and, as a result, climate change. We may help to reduce overall consumer demand in their businesses by taking individual steps to reduce our own carbon emissions. Many people making minor adjustments in their daily lives can convey a powerful message that we don't stand for 'business as usual' and insist that present practices change.

Activities to make carbon neutral

·    Try a different method of transportation

· Eat more plant-based meals and less animal-based foods

·         Switch to a low-carbon energy source

·        Rethink your wardrobe choices

·         Choose energy efficient equipment

·        Travel less or smarter

·         Reduce, reuse, and recycle to reduce waste

·        Reduce the temperature in your home.
