The idea Carbon dioxide is the chief element of the green house gases which has a serious
implication for global warming and consequent climate change. Carbon footprint is an indicator of impact of
our activity on climate change. To assess the impact of various activities of colleges on environment carbon
footprint is estimated by considering the energy consumption through electricity, vehicle fuel consumption,
human factor and solid waste generation. A portion of carbon dioxide emitted will be absorbed by the trees
during their photosynthesis process, so the trees have negative carbon footprint. Thus this project is a
research regarding the emission of carbon dioxide in the engineering college premises chosen. In this paper
the amount of carbon dioxide emitted were quantified for the last academic year, considering the above
mentioned parameters. The paper also describes the suggestive measures to reduce the carbon footprint and
also software to determine the same.
