Does social distancing increase or decrease your carbon footprint?

Biology
1 answer:
Andrej [43]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Decrease

Explanation:

The carbon footprint is <u>the amount of carbon (in terms of greenhouse gases) being emitted by human activities</u>. In a situation where <u>social distancing is encouraged, human activity would reduce significantly</u>. Very few people will be outside and the causative agents of pollution (anthropogenic) will be significantly reduced. Further, nature would be able to minimize the impacts of pollution when human activities are less than the threshold capacity.

Let's take an example of coronavirus spread globally this year. The social distancing of 2 meters has significantly reduced the number of people going outside. Ultimately, there are fewer automobiles on the roads and a few industries are running. The result is that the air quality index has been significantly improved. For example, in India, people from 300 km away, can see the Himalayan mountain range very clearly (see image attached). This has not happened in decades after modern industrialization.

Len [333]
The parcelization and urbanization of forests bring with them serious consequences for nature and humans beings, although we probably see it as an advance; deforestation, logging, burning, seriously affect the vegetation, and the fauna of a forest, the human workforce , the deviation of rivers and the modification of natural zones seem to be a development of society, but in the long run it affects more to humans than to nature itself, because we are the ones who will not have natural lungs to breathe, and those who soon will be drowned with our own pollution, because there are no forests, no nature to purify the air we need.
