Definition from
AltusLumen:
Carbon footprint measures total amount of greenhouse gas emissions released into the environment. Greenhouse gas emissions from all sources are summed up and changed into units of CO2 equivalent which is used to standardize greenhouse gas emissions and help make comparisons from different time periods and across industries. Carbon emissions are usually measured in metric tons per year (1 metric ton equals 2204lbs).
Example sentences:
With rises in the costs of fuel and widespread media coverage on the threats of global warming, reducing your carbon footprint is increasingly at the forefront of the sustainability agenda for consumer product manufacturers and retailers. (Carbon Footprint Consumer Products 2008)
Global climate change is one of humanity’s greatest challenges and one of the most important indicators that we are in ecological overshoot. Since the carbon footprint is 50 percent of humanity’s overall Ecological Footprint, reducing our carbon footprint is essential to ending ecological overshoot. (Global Footprint Network)
Some companies have started to include footprints on their labeling. Carbon labels appeal to consumers who understand and monitor their own carbon footprints and want to support products that do the same. (HowStuffWorks, Inc.)

amprenta de carbon
Amprenta de carbon nu se refera exclusiv la emisiile specifice unei activitati, emisii care sa duca la accentuarea efectului de sera. La fel de importante si de luat in calcul sint si emisiile de gradul doi, din activitatile conexe.
Exemplu clasic: o centrala termica pe lemne, pentru o locuinta, poate avea o amprenta de carbon mai mica decit o centrala electrica de aceeasi marime si cu acelasi randament in functionare. Cum? Simplu: centrala termica pe lemne este de data recenta, lucrand cu o eficienta de 80% pe cand curentul electric folosit de centrala electrica provine de la o termocentrala pe carbuni care emite gaze toxice (echivalent carbon mare) si, in plus, lucreaza la o eficienta de maxim 50%. Emisiile de gradul doi din acest exemplu, prin echivalentul lor in carbon, modifica drastic perspectiva asupra lucrurilor.

Definition from
own experience or research:
amprenta de carbon = suma echivalentilor in bioxid de carbon, ca unitate comuna de masura, pentru emisiile si activitatile care duc la marirea efectului de sera.

Eu am și spus că e amprentă de carbon
nu pot să pun +1, dar sunt de acord cu fetele
Asta-i, amprenta de carbon, cum au spus fetele.
