Globally, the average is closer to 4 tons. To have the best chance of avoiding a 2\u2103 rise in global temperatures, the average global carbon footprint per year needs to drop under 2 tons by 2050.<\/p>\n<p>Lowering individual carbon footprints from 16 tons to 2 tons doesn\u2019t happen overnight! With the NYC Climate Mobilization Act now in full effect, we must all do our best to reduce the impact we have on Environment.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row
