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

Conclusion

Nowadays the climate is changed dramatically and the temperature increases days after days because of human activity.
When the climate change the agriculture will suffer and the crops can not be cultivated in the situation. People should use items that can save the weather and don’t cause lots of pollution like get rid of harmful light bulbs. The government should make rules for people to change their behaviors which can affect the environment badly like traveling, eating meat and produce harmful gases. People always should think about green consumption choices and clean technologies for example in many countries like Canada people get rid of old light bulbs and use different kinds of light which can protect the environment against damage. At the end if the governments don’t work hard and inform people about cool city and make steps that can let people change their lifestyle the problem will increase rapidly in the future.

My reaction about An Inconvenient Truth


I am unhappy about global warming because people don’t realize that their activity caused many damages for environment and the global warming affects will appear in the future. I advise people to change their lifestyle in order to reduce the high amount of harmful gases. The simple example that affects the environment is the transport so why not we use bicycles instead of using cars. Many people like to travel in the summer by aircraft so we shouldn’t travel every year because the aircraft outputs lots of carbon dioxide. We should always think about the future because this problem will increase if we not change our lifestyle and the new generation will suffer.

Intro to Cool Cities

No doubt that there are many countries around the world suffering from the pollution and global warming. The amount of carbon dioxide is increasing around the world and this causes a lot of damage for the environment, people and animals. The technology affects badly on our life. People for example use cars which output harmful gases and Co2. Many cities all over the world are trying to think about solution which can help us to protect the environment. Abu Dhabi would like to be a cool city without lots of CO2 and harmful gases so I think if we work hard we can achieve these goals. In this research I will describe global warming and the solutions that the government and individuals can do it to avoid this problem.
