What's Your Carbon FootPrint?
A carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) created by individuals through daily activities such as home energy use, driving a car or even flying in an airplane. GHG build up in the atmosphere over the past century has been linked to global climate change and specifically global warming. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is the most significant and prevalent greenhouse gas. Footprints are usually measured in tons of CO2 produced annually.

www.swancc.org
The Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County (SWANCC) is a unit of local government and a non-profit corporation. Twenty-three towns in northern Cook County joined together to form SWANCC in 1988. SWANCC developed a long-term plan to manage the region’s garbage that was adopted by its Board of Directors in 1991. Since then, SWANCC has been at work implementing this balanced and environmentally safe solution to the region’s garbage challenges.
