Carbon Foot Print

Today while I was doing my 174 project for carbon foot print, I was shocked of my foot print because I don’t travel a lot or drive a lot so I thought I will get the lowest foot print in the college but I found that my score is 2.07 plant.

I found out what should I do to reduce my score and the changes can be quite easy and to some people stupid but changing has to come to save the world. For the food section I should cut down on meat and dairy produce and buy more seasonal food which acutely can be really healthy and not to buy air freighted food because it causes a lot of air pollution just to bring food to markets. Traveling sounded stupid at the beginning but ended with good ideas, I don’t drive much but I cruse in the neighborhood to improve my driving but it said that I should not drive to places that are 2 miles away. In the home section it was only about heating and cooling but its true, my brothers turn on the AC and put it in 10 degrees which can be bone chilling which only if I rose it 11 would make a difference. Least but not least is stuff which really amazed me because I don’t use products that can be recycled a lot but if I changed that and avoid over-packaged products, I can really change the score to be between 1 to 1.5 but im aiming to get less than 1.

We have only one plant called the earth and personally intend to keep it and we as humans must do what is best for every one and for the sake of our next generations and the generation after than we need to change for the best.

My First Video

This is my first using Windows Movie Maker and its about global warming and i hope you like it.

Cool Cities

Life in the mean time is rapidly changing to the positive side, that’s is what most people is thinking but no which the more positive is the world is going to is the more negative they are going to if think about it environmentally.

The world is going as they say to be heaven in earth as they say because of all the technology they have but have they thought of the mass effect it has on the world if didn’t use it properly. The world can be in the preach of destruction but someone always has to come with an alternative plan for if which is Cool Cities which a which a creation that has moderation and non-lethality to the world which has the most advanced technology and structure while keeping an eye or the carbon emissions to keep the world cleaner.

Abu-Dhabi has already started two projects that has to do with Cool Cities which are Al Sadiyat Island and Masdar City and personally I hope the whole world would build cities just like those for the sake of the world itself and the future.

AIT reaction

The movie was astonishingly amazing but at the same time horrifying which was a bit of an awkward mix but yes it opened mankind eyes to what we are doing to the world and most of the people have the nerve to say: are we ?. Personally I did some changes in my life to prevent it from happening and some people say an individual can do nothing by himself. I personally like the movie and I'm searching for more documentary movies about global warming so I could summaries a lot of advices from them so one man can make a difference.

AIT summury

There are many technologies in the world but people tend to use it the old way that eventually will kill the world but among the men in the world, Al Gore the former vice president of the United States stood up to change the world to a better place which eventually made a documentary movie which is called An Inconvenient Truth.

The movie is about what the man kind did to the world harming it that’s causing Global warming the will one day that it will hit as back badly which can be near if the world didn’t do anything . Al Gore showed in his documentary what causes global warming and what will happen if it the warming kept developing. He showed that world did we do such as cutting trees which can be not only harm the world but can only harm humans, tree inhales CO2 which helps global warming to decrease and exhales oxygen that help to reduce world warming but what does humans do they cut trees instead. Al Gore talked about his personal life when he mentioned about his sister death when the first connections between smoking and lunge cancer and at that time his father was growing tobacco but stopped. He talked about the effects on animals and planets that can devastatingly kill them, it changes the hatching time of birds as he said which they were born differently which was horrifying which they were mutating born like. In trees it kills them and he showed a picture of a land which was green and now its half red half green and the green tree had a lot of dead ones too.

Global warming can kill us if we don’t do anything to it and a lot of people want a good future for themselves and their children and children after them and it can be solve. A word of advice, if you set your mind you can accomplish anything you want to.
