Filipinos ask to help reduce carbon footprint | The Manila Bulletin Newspaper Online: "“With the continuing rise in oil prices brought about by political instabilities in the Middle East countries, it is but necessary for us Filipinos as a nation to make adjustments in our lifestyle so as to minimize the impact of rising cost of living to our families,' said DENR Sec. Ramon Paje.

“If there’s anything that we need to do in the face of these uncertainties, such should have reduced impact on the environment or, that would reduce our carbon footprint,” Paje said.

Carbon footprint refers to the totality of the impact or effect of all activities done by an organization, group or indi-vidual on the environment. It covers all greenhouse gases that each individual or organization may emit in the atmo-sphere as a result of its activities."
