MohamedG life

I was born in Abu Dhabi which is one of the most important cities in the Middle East. My father was a policeman but now he is retired. On the other hand my mother looks after my younger brothers and gives them advice. I have a wonderful family which contains 3 sisters and 4 brothers and we spend wonderful times with each other especially at the weekend.

Now I will turn to talk about my life before and after school. Before going to school I just stayed in the house and slept all morning so I didn’t know anything about school and the subjects that I could learn. When I was 5 years old my father registered me in school so it was a huge difference for me because I used to sleep in the morning but now I have to get up early at 7 am. I have some bad memories about my first time in the school because I cried when my father left me there.


I was very active and I had many ambitions when I was a teenager, because in my opinion these years are the golden years for every person. I worked very hard in the school because I realized that the person can achieve his goals by studying and I joined English courses. I made many relationships with my friends and we had many activities like
Camping, playing basketball and camel racing. I liked cars very much like all teenagers and the first car that I bought was a Camry. I was very afraid when I drove it but after that it was very easy for me.

I have traveled to few places like Qatar and Saudi Arabia. In Qatar I visited my uncle who has lived there for a long time and we visited many places like museums and I saw the Qatar heritage which is not very different from UAE heritage. I was very excited when I saw the horse racing because there were many horses from all over the world but my favorite horse is the Arabian horse because his hair is very long and he has more power than others. In Saudi Arabia I visited Jeddah which is a wonderful city with nice location so the weather was very beautiful especially near the sea. I bought many gifts for my friends like ghutras, Arabian perfumes and Swiss watches because Jeddah is one of the most important cities in the Gulf with malls and markets.

In my free time I love to play chess because this sport is not for body but also for the brain. I also enjoy when I go to the cinema because I can watch comedy, action and tragedy movies especially with Sylvester Stallone who I like very much. I like to watch football especially Barcelona and I hope to go to the Camp Nou to see Barcelona players. I have other hobby like collecting stamps for famous player, actors and heritage places and I put them in the album to show my friends when they visit me.

There are many actions that affect a human life like an experience he learned and changed his goals or presentation or movie that caused the person to change his views on a particular issue. In my life there are many actions that happened and affected my behaviour like a movie which talks about poor people who died in Africa because they didn’t have water or food so I said to

myself “ why I don’t put myself in their situation” . We have a lot of money why don’t we donate some of this to poor people instead of wasting it on cheap things. Isn’t human life is more important than other things? So this movie changed my mind about poor people and donating.
In the future I hope to have a nice job with a good salary so to achieve this goal I should work hard. I am looking forward to getting married and living in a huge villa. I would like to be a successful business man so I will choose business major to achieve my purpose.

What should be done in Abu Dhabi

The people in Abu Dhabi should be aware that government can’t make Abu Dhabi a cool city without their help so in my opinion I think that we should change our lifestyle in order to improve our city.

1- I think we should inform people about the differences between a cool city and pollution which will affect our children negatively in the future.

2- Media should inform people about the steps that people can do to reduce the amount of CO2 and carbon dioxide such as get rid of harmful fuel

3- Always we should think about clean technology which can make our life easier and without pollution.

4- the people in Abu Dhabi should try to recycle the waste instead of throwing it and the waste water should be recycled and used for agriculture.

5- We can encourage people in Abu Dhabi to keep their city clean and without pollution by giving them lots of examples about clean cities which have less pollution so why can not we become like those cities.

Why I would/would not like to live in Masdar city

I would like to live in Masdar city because in masdar city I should get rid of my bad lifestyle like using cars so why not I walk to my job instead of using transport.
Moreover in this city I should use less energy and materials so we should think about other solutions especially to control the temperature in the atmosphere for example I shouldn’t use the air condition which increases the amount of CO2 and carbon dioxide. Moreover people will find new methods to have fresh water and clean electricity without causing damage for natural resources. In Masdar city it will be zero-carbon emissions, zero waste and all waste production will be recycled so people should get rid of their activity which causing pollution. Bicycle will be the most important transport and people will not use private car. I like to live in masdar city because there will not be traffic and I can move from one place to another flexibly. People should obey the rules in order to keep our city cool and clean. In masdar city I will not use petrol so I will save my money because the price of fuel is increasing day after day.

Cool cities in the USA

1. Seattle: They reduced global warming pollution by more than 60 percent by constructing green buildings and operating alternative fuel vehicles.

2. Washington DC: DC has replaced 414 of its polluting diesel buses with buses that burn natural gases.

3. Houston: convert a substantial portion of the city of fleet of cars and trucks.

4. Marion County/Florida: they use gas-electric hybrid vehicles.

5. The city of Scottsdale: has introduced Arizona’s first green building program which helps builders and home owners learn about how to integrate energy efficiency and water saving.

6. Salt Lake City: they changed 861 traffic lights to LED light signals.

7. Colorado: is working to produce 50 percent of the city electricity with renewable energy by 2017.

8. Charlotte: they switched from a gas only Ford Taurus to a hybrid Toyota Prius or Honda Civic and that would save city taxpayers approximately $800-1200 per vehicle including over $400 in annual fuel cost.

9. Twin Falls/ Idaho: Reduce energy cost and cut pollution by increasing the energy efficiency of its 11 schools.

10. St. Paul: they use a system that uses heat drawn from a biomass-fired power plant.

One Planet Living

The One Planet Living programme is based on ten guiding principles:-

1- Zero carbon this mean the amount of CO2 in the air which out put from human activities and consumption.

2- Zero waste this mean to get rid of something that is not wanted or needed like garbage which can damage the expensive resources.

3- Sustainable transport this mean the different kind of transports that people use and caused many problems for environment such as pollution and climate change.

4- Local and sustainable materials this means process of decomposing and recovering substances such as in industries and manufacturing caused many problems for environment and reduce the advantages for the people.

5- Local and sustainable food this means the low quality of Industrial agriculture which produces food and it causes lots of damage for environment especially when the food is transported.

6- Sustainable water this means the amount of freshwater is declined because of pollution, dry and other human activities which make this water unsuitable for drink.

7- Natural Habitats and wildlife this means there is less of the natural areas such as palms trees, plants and animals areas because of damaging the natural resources by people.

8- Culture and heritage this means that the world becomes more open for people and people don’t care about their heritage and culture so people have less information and knowledge about their country.

9- Equity and fair trade this means that many poor countries produce and sell things which can’t satisfy people’s needs but in rich countries people have enough products which satisfy their ambitions.

10- Health and happiness this means that nowadays people feel happiness although the life becomes more comfortable and healthier so people don’t know the real reasons for contentment .

Carbon Footprint

A carbon footprint is the total amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other harmful gases. The name of footprint come from the activity that people do on their life such as driving car and producing harmful gases. In this easy I will describe the reasons and the solutions that we can do it to avoid the footprint. My carbon footprint is 16 tonnes per annum and I need 4 planets like earth to live this type of life.

The most important reason is the harmful gases and CO2 which come from transport such as cars, aircrafts for example when I go to the college I always come by car. Moreover the lifestyle affects the environment badly because we use lots of electricity that produce carbon dioxide for example we use lots of electricity for cooking food, using air condition and leaving the lights open for long time.In addition when I travel by aircraft the air will have high amount of harmful gases.

On the other hand there are lots of solutions that we can do it to keep our environment clear. Firstly why don’t I come to the college with my friend instead of coming by my own car also I should reduce the hours of using my own car. I should change some lifestyle such as using lots of energy for electricity and reduce using the air condition. Thirdly I should reduce travelling in the summer so why not I spend my holiday with my family by visiting the nature places in the UAE.

In conclusion, we shouldn’t depend just on government to make our life clear and without carbon dioxide but all people should work hard to keep the environment clean for next generation
