Scene 2 (20s)
[Audio] You have not left your bed yet... ...and you have already added carbon to the atmosphere. Charging your phone Running the fan or AC Your breakfast, grown and shipped to you 2 Carbon Footprints | BCom + ACCA, LPU.
Scene 3 (38s)
[Audio] What is a carbon footprint? The total greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide (CO₂), produced by your daily activities. Travel Electricity Food Shopping Measured in kilograms or tonnes of CO₂ per year 3 Carbon Footprints | BCom + ACCA, LPU.
Scene 4 (58s)
[Audio] Why it matters: the heat blanket +1.2°C Greenhouse gases (CO₂, methane) global warming since preindustrial times (approx.) Heat bounces back More heatwaves, floods, erratic monsoons and rising seas. Earth 4 Carbon Footprints | BCom + ACCA, LPU.
Scene 5 (1m 21s)
[Audio] CO₂ emitted per person Tonnes of CO₂ per person per year (approx.) 14 14.0 The gap is huge. 12 10 8 An average American emits roughly 7 times more than an average Indian. But India's habits are changing fast, so our choices today matter. 6 4.7 4 2 2.0 0 1.0 2.0 3.0 5 Carbon Footprints | BCom + ACCA, LPU.
Scene 6 (1m 53s)
[Audio] Where it comes from Transport Electricity Food Shopping Example A solo petrol-car drive to college, instead of a bus that carries 40 people. Example AC and lights left on in an empty room, powered by a coal-heavy grid. Example Meat-heavy meals, and half a plate of rice thrown away. Example A fast-fashion shirt worn twice, made and shipped across the world. 6 Carbon Footprints | BCom + ACCA, LPU.
Scene 7 (2m 25s)
[Audio] Same day, two footprints Student A Student B Commute Drives a petrol car alone Takes the bus or metro Power AC and lights left on Fan, LED bulbs, switches off Lunch Meat-heavy, half wasted Plant-based, finishes the plate Shopping New fast-fashion order Second-hand or repaired Water Single-use plastic bottle Refillable bottle Both attend the same lectures. Student B's day produces far less CO₂, just through small habits. 7 Carbon Footprints | BCom + ACCA, LPU.
Scene 8 (3m 4s)
[Audio] Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions Scope 1: direct Scope 2: energy Scope 3: value chain Fuel burned by the company's Purchased electricity, heating and cooling. Example: the own vehicles and boilers. Example: delivery trucks. factory power bill. Everything else: suppliers, transport, product use and waste. Example: growing and shipping cotton. Scope 3 is usually the hardest to measure. 8 Carbon Footprints | BCom + ACCA, LPU.
Scene 9 (3m 44s)
[Audio] Six small actions that help Move smarter Save power Eat greener Walk, cycle, carpool or use public transport. More plant-based meals, and no wasted food. Switch off when idle. LED bulbs use roughly 75% less electricity than old bulbs. Buy less Skip single-use Plant trees Carry a bottle and a cloth bag. Buy second-hand and repair before replacing. They help, but they do not cancel out everything else. 9 Carbon Footprints | BCom + ACCA, LPU.
