Summary
          Transportation of almost any sorts (besides stuff like walking and riding your bike) puts extremely large amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. After figuring out the carbon footprint of our product we found out how large of a number it really is. Yes, there are a lot of things being shipped at once so it ends up a much lower number but that is still such a large amount of pollutants overall. This is what is causing a lot of global warming.

          We made a model by plotting all the places that all the components in our product have been. Then we thought of what mode of transport was most likely used for that shipping. After that we calculated how much CO2 must have been produced for that journey. Then we added all that together to get our final carbon footprint. This showed us how much co2 out product produced to be made and shipped.

          The more of a demand there is for an item and the farther away it is the more Co2 is produced. And the more CO2 is produce the more the world heats up.
