Abstract:
Global warming is a condition of change in the climate. The major source of this condition are Green House Gases like Carbon dioxide, Methane, Nitrous oxide, Ozone etc. Carbon Footprint is the increased carbon dioxide concentration. This may leads to severe impacts in the atmosphere. Majorly due to the activities of particular individual, organization or a community. In this study, an attempt made to estimate the carbon emission in Govt. Medical College, Manjeri. For this study electrical sources, Food waste, Transportation which emits carbon are taken into account.
Keywords:
Global warming, Green House Gases, Carbon footprint.
