Climate Neutral

We have all heard about climate change, but rarely do some of us know about Climate Neutral. As this climate neutral is the trend in action to overcome the climate change crisis, let us know about the term Climate Neutral.


Neutral holds several meanings, right? It may be unbiased, impartial and the list goes on. To be simple, when we put in the neutral gear, what happens to the car? It doesn't move, it is stationary. The same applies to climate neutral. Climate stays as it is, so we balance the greenhouse gas emissions with that of the absorption or we do not emit the greenhouse gases. When you hear do not emit, yes, some of you might have guessed it by now, it is net zero emission that the whole world is focusing on, so we all work together to achieve this.

You might be wondering how to achieve net zero emissions. It is simple, just account for your emissions like accounting your expenses. We have to look back and see how much we have emitted as an individual, as a community or as an organization. This is known as the carbon footprint. The footprints we leave on the seashore, when we look back, after a while they will be gone. This may be due to the waves or so, but the carbon footprints we leave remain for several years, until they are absorbed by a sink like the ocean, forest or man made sinks (artificially created sinks to capture the carbon in the atmosphere). Hence, it is always better to keep track of our emissions and find a way to reduce them. To calculate your carbon footprint, you can use a carbon footprint calculator. Once you find out your emissions, you can set a goal to reduce them using other green technologies. In this way, every one of us becomes responsible for achieving climate neutrality.


Let us all stay Climate Neutral.
