Chattanooga’s Carbon Footprint: Leaving Tracks On My Nice Clean City

Although the report had a lot of interesting facts about air quality, development, parks, stream health and industrial pollution, I thought the most interesting fact dealt with what is becoming my bête noire: the carbon footprint. The carbon footprint is simply the units of carbon dioxide produced by a given entity, often expressed in tons of carbon per annum.
