I'm translating an article about fish and I found this sentence: "It's a huge carbon footprint!".
What does "carbon footprint" means? It seems to be an expression but I just couldn't understand the idea.

: I will vote for this answer, since it is singular like in the source text and "enorme" seems to be more appropriate to translate "huge" :: "gigantesca" is more appropriate to translate "gigantic".
