The carbon footprint as the equivalent of the overall impact of human activity on the envi-ronment is a useful expression. Currently, high visibility require these values to determine the negative impact of human activities on the environment. In general, the term carbon footprint means the volume of gas emissions that affect the climate of the planet, while the emissions are caused by human activity. Even in our time is not uniform definition of carbon footprint, therefore it can be understood in different views. Also, in the article we will focus on the comparison of the various geotechnical structures and the impact of geosynthetics in these structures.
