A carbon footprint is "the total set of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by an organization‚ event or product" [1]. For simplicity of reporting‚ it is often expressed in terms of the amount of carbon dioxide‚ or its equivalent of other GHGs‚ emitted. The concept name of the carbon footprint originates from ecological footprint discussion.[2] The carbon footprint is a subset of the ecological footprint and of the more comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).

Carbon Cycle Living organisms are significant in the recycling of numerous elements contained in an ecosystem. One of the elements is carbon. Carbon is nonmetal‚ forms over ten million different compounds‚ found in minerals‚ oceans‚ and is the main component of biological compounds. So how do living organisms and their biochemical reactions contribute to the recycling of carbon? Carbon moves through the ecosystem in a cycle‚ in which the living organisms take and release

Carbon fibre-reinforced carbon (aka carbon–carbon‚ abbreviated C/C) is a composite material consisting of carbon fibre reinforcement in a matrix of graphite. It was developed for the nose cones of intercontinental ballistic missiles‚ and is most widely known as the material for the nose cone and wing leading edges of the Space Shuttle orbiter. It has been used in the brake systems of Formula One racing cars since 1976; carbon–carbon brake discs and pads are a standard component of Formula One brake
