The carbon footprint of your consumption
Your carbon footprint tells the amount of greenhouse gas emissions you produce, for example, when you drive a car, go to sauna or eat cheese. In terms of cheese, the emissions from growing the animal feed for cows all the way to cheese production are taken into account.
