Cool Cities

Nowadays, the most people activities depend on finite energies like petrol, electricity, gas…etc. We are consuming these energies every hour and this is very harmful problem for our world because of the amount of the CO2 emissions which come from our consumption. There are many solutions to avoid this problem and governments can give help for that. But the real problem is that some solutions can not be acceptable from human uses.

The first solution is to verbalize uses of solar energy, which can produce natural power instead of energies which will give us more CO2 emissions and pollution. In addition, the government can change the inefficient light bulbs that produce emissions with more light. The third solution is that the government should prohibit old cars that produce more CO2 emissions.

Although they have solutions not conform to human uses, they have also many solutions that human can’t adapt to. One of these solutions is switching off the A.C, and reduces the using of electricity. Another solution is buses and trains are used instead of cars, whereas we are living in a sophisticated world so everyone has his own car and uses it. Yet another solution is that using the Nuclear power for generating power which needs a lot of uranium that is too expensive. In fact, the other countries will think that power will use for fighting them or the world.

All in all, I think there are many solutions that more than I mentioned about decrease the CO2 Emissions but not all people care about it. In my opinion, all governments should first aware people about the bad results and dangers about it then we’ll all share to save our planet from that emissions.

Carbon Footprint

Carbon footprint is defined as a way to measure the impact individuals have on the environment in stipulations of the amount of green house gases. My footprint was 2.37 which I think it was bad result. I should have 2.37 planets to cover my footprint levels. This is very harmful for our world and it will increase the global warming troubles.

When I saw my carbon footprint was high I shocked but it was come from many reasons. The first one is the area which I scored poorly was the travelling area. I am using a car with V6 so it should daily consume 7 Litre of petrol then petrol is providing air with negative emissions. In addition, at the weekend I use it to go to visit my relatives and friends and travel to different Emirates and fairly some countries like KSA, Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar. The area which came second in poor score was the stuff category and that is because I live with huge family so that we should have TVs, fridges, Electronics …etc and all these are counted. One Important thing that I have never considered is recycling. I never recycle because most of my usage is with things that can’t be recycled and if I had any, I don’t recycle them.

Every problem has a solution. I would consider the following solution steps towards the end of the raised footprint levels issue. First of all I can start using group transportation. Public transportation such as busses and group taxies are good in that they would reduce the amount of emissions by reducing the number of cars in roads. This could be difficult because some people would think themselves better than riding a bus. Another way to minimize my footprint levels is by reducing the amount of time I use in any electronic devise. For example, instead of using the laptop for 5 to 7 hours a day, I should use it for 3 hours maximum. Also I should change the type of lamps I use in my house with environment friendly lamps. The last way I figured was recycling anything that can be recycled.All in all, everybody should think more about reducing the percentage of carbon emissions. If all of people tried to participate to help their world from harmful house emissions like the green house, this start must have good results for our environment and our planet as well.

Global Warming

An Inconvenient Truth (My opinion)

An inconvenient truth was a very exciting documentary. Watching it was very enjoying and thrilling. The presenter of this documentary, Al Gore knew how to deliver his point of view and was very good in getting the attention of his audience. He was really good in choosing the right information in the right time which helped him to make the people interested and curious about the rest of the story.Al Gore used charts, cartoons and pictures to help him communicate with the audience and with the usage of these things it made it easy to the people to understand the presentation. Another good thing in Al Gore that he was very calm which gave the listeners the feeling that they are listening to a friend and someone they knew for a long time. He was funny and relaxed and that mad it even easier to deliver his point of view.In the end, when he talked about his personal life and the accident with his son and the death of his sister and how it made him think about the future and changed his worldview, that was a great way to show the people that he is honest and he is not only a politician, but also a person who live in the earth and trying to help saving the world.

An Inconvenient Truth (Summary)

An Inconvenient Truth is a documentary movie talking about the growing issue of global warming. Al Gore a previous congress and used to be a presidential candidate, says that its us, the people, who are helping in growing global warming and that every one living in this earth need to do something about it before it’s late.The reasons he showed were many, such as the rising temperature of the oceans, the increasing levels of carbon dioxide, the continuous rainfalls and many other reasons. He also gave us evidence for his reasons. The evidence he gave for the oceans heating up is that hurricanes, are becoming much worse that ever and one of the hurricanes he mentioned was hurricane Katrina. As for the carbon dioxide levels he showed a graph about CO2 levels in a period of time. The graph showed that the amount of CO2 in the present is far more than any period of time in the past. Finally he showed pictures of huge floods and testimonies of citizens as an evidence for the rainfalls.In general the film was good and inspiring. The global warming issue is indeed a dangerous problem and could affect every living being. All of the issues Al Gore mentioned were supported and he gave examples for each one what helped him in delivering the point
