Global warming has done much damage to our style life. Masdar is a new idea to fight global warming. In this report I will mention the problem and the solution.There are many problems of global warming. First of all is that green house; boost the atmosphere green house gases. Another drawback is that deforestation is the blazing of trees and plants in forested areas and that will increase the carbon dioxide. A final problem is the climate changes, for example, cyclone and volcanic flare up. One Solution is to build surroundings cities.(cool cities).

The problems of modern cities are the emissions of CO2 and Green House Gases. Most of the emissions are coming from transportation and buildings by (90%). The traffic and increasing population and cooling systems in shopping malls and most of buildings. Industrial plants also emit CO2 in large amount and their waste goes to sewage and harms the environment. We do have one of planet and we should protect it.

Turning to solutions, for these problems are to control the emissions by saving energy and acting against traffic problems. A main solution appears is to be building surroundings cities (cool cities). These cities are designed to reduce Green House Gases emissions and reducing energy by using the latest technologies. The energy is produced by using solar farms without using any fossil fuels. The transportation is without emissions because of the use of hybrid cars, and taxi’s using hydrogen. The buildings also use natural air, light and water and numerous convincing environmental technologies to reduce CO2 emissions. These cities can reduce CO2 by 60%.

I think that these cities are the solution for the environmental issues, but can everybody live there? Many people might not settle in, because of their lifestyle and the number of people to live there is limited(Salama, The National). So, I believe that convincing people to change their style of life is more important but there is no harm to try these cities, and to develop the technology for all to use.

carbon footprint

A carbon footprint is a measure of our activities and rates it in a specific decimal number and it calculates the huge impact on our environment. In this essay, I will show you a way to calculate the level of your carbon footprint.

I measured my carbon footprint using two sites, which use a simple way by asking easy questions and calculating the amount of carbon you produce. I see myself a good producer compared to my classmates Abdullah who found 1.4 and hadi who found 1.68 which means that I should be more responsible about my activities because I got 2.74. On the other hand, I think that reducing my carbon foot print is not difficult and only needs some changes in my lifestyle.

Reducing Co2 is a very important issue. I think that as an individual I can reduce the amount of electricity used by using energy saving goods. Another thing is that we can change reduce Co2 by changing our lifestyle like using other transportation instead of using our own cars. Moreover, I should turn off the A/C and the lights and all the devises off whenever I leave my house or my office.

This is an essay to start thinking about how our lifestyle is increasing Co2 and how to deal with it and be creative in finding solutions to protect our environment think that the Governments should make rules to force industrial plants to reduce emissions of Co2.

Global warming

One of the main problems facing the world is global warming. Many scientists believe that the earth temperature is rising and the ice is melting, and the oceans are rising among the world. In this essay I will outline the problems of global warming and discuss possible solutions.

There are many reasons of global warming. For example, melting of icecaps and glaciers (ice sheets), temperature rising. First, the ice is melting and it leads to increase the sea level above the natural, which leads to decrease the ground area level. Second, the temperature is rising because of the factories around the world. A final factor is that weather fluctuations. There are many changes in the world temperature because of the earth quakes.

Turing to solutions first is to read and learn about the environment. The world is making things that will affect our environment. Second is that to save some electricity by reducing the use of machines. Finally is to stop using cars and start using bikes and walk when you can.
In summary, there are a lot of things to do to save the world but people should do them not to only talk about it.
