Carbon footprint

Carbon footprint

Carbon footprint is the reflect in humans activities against the environment which surrounds them. There is a small quiz where anybody can do it on many web sites to have an idea about how everybody could affect the planet by gases which spread out from electrical machine, transport vehicles, industrial work and many other pollution sources. www.myfootprint.org one of the web sites which can help to show the results of the carbon dioxide (CO2).

I did the quiz and actually I was shocked when I saw the score I got 3.42 which mean that I have to do some corrective action to reduce the huge amount of pollution to live in safe world!!!

In the following I am going to discuss my footprint problems and then I am going to phrase some solutions which led us to the right way.

There are a lot of problems that we have to put in our consideration. One of those problems is the house stuff. First of all is that there are many electrical machines in my house and all these machines are producing gases which caused air pollution .Yet another problem which I want to discuss is food footprint, where most of our food is not local manufactured it is actually imported from many countries all over the world which is another source of pollution. A final problem is that the transportation vehicles in every house there are many cars which also spread out carbon dioxide and pollute the earth.

Because of all these negative effects of carbon foot print let’s now display some solutions for these problems. One possible response to this is to use equipment which does not making pollution for example the lights, washing machines, ovens, and many other types of equipment. By doing things like that we will reduce the amount of gases which are damaging our environment. The solution for the second problem is we should to have to buy local food which is transported safely because some times when the food imported from far distance it may get affected.

A Final solution for the last problem which I had mentioned in the latter paragraph is that we need good control for using our cars.

To sum up, although several problems have been mentioned, it is entirely a different solution to make these solutions a reality. I wish that everybody will start to safe our planet!!!

An Inconvenient Truth

Summary of “An inconvenient truth”

An inconvenient truth is one of the few wonderful films at this time, because it shows us the human activities which are destroying the earth. For instance the industrial waste, the green house gases which spread out from our houses, the sea dumping and many other practices which affect our earth .Actually, I like the way which the director phrase the information, he impressed me very much and he is very clever to focus on such problem (Global Warming) to show the humans the bad practices and habits against our planet.

Al-Gore is one of the people who care about our earth and he wants to give the message for all the humanity to do something against the global warming and by this film he increased the awareness of people all over the world. He is one of the famous persons in America who cares about this phenomena. Moreover, in this film Al-Gore encourage the governments and people to do something and play their vital role to decrease the limit of pollution which may destroy our world .In addition the film shows many real pictures of the situation how people affect the earth and it also included some statistics which led us to see how terrible that we are stuck in.

Reaction to” An inconvenient truth”

Another thing I want to add it is that this film increased my knowledge about the vital role that everybody can playing to save our planet. Of course we know now that ¾ of the ice caps in the north quarter has melted and it caused many natural disasters like floods in different countries in our world.

Why it is called “An inconvenient truth”?

It was called An inconvenient truth because most of the people do not believe in this disaster global warming or in another meaning they are ignoring this from it because, they do not want to change their life or spend more money. Moreover, this includes some governments, traders, and people all over the world because if they want to change they have to pay more money.

What should be done in Abu Dhabi to make people more aware of the situation?

v In my opinion Abu Dhabi government should levy taxes on the transporting vehicles and big industrial companies which increase the level of pollution.

v The governments should provide special buses to pick up the workers from their houses to the work and return them back.

v Reduce the amount of imports items which cause environmental pollution.

v The environmental agency in Abu Dhabi should do regular visits to the industries to make sure that they are following the health standards.

v Also they have to do advertising in different ways for example on radio, TV programmes, news papers and magazines to increase the people awareness about the global warming.

Introduction: Cool Cities

Cool cities

One of the perfect solutions for the global warming phenomena is the cool cities.

What we mean by cool cities?

The cool cities mean that we have to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in those cities to get free from air pollution and water pollution, these cool cities are very big project which has a height quality standards to reduce the carbon dioxide which polluted the earth so, it will concentrate on everything in such cities the source of water, the electricity supplies and other energies which I have mentioned must be renewable energies.

Another thing I want to add it to build such cities it will cost a lot of money, there are many cool cities all over the world, in USA, UK and many other countries, cool cities are not only new cities there were cities before 100 -150 years ago, but they follow some standards and regulations to lower the amount of CO2.
