A carbon footprint is historically defined as the total sets of greenhouse gas emissions caused by an organization, event, product or individual.. The total carbon footprint cannot be calculated because of the large amount of data required and the fact that carbon dioxide can be produced by natural occurrences.or simplicity of reporting, it is often expressed in terms of the amount of carbon dioxide, or its equivalent of other GHGs, emitted. Most of the carbon footprint emissions for the average U.S. household come from indirect sources, i.e. fuel burned to produce goods far away from the final consumer.
