last but not least but really important

Course of nature sometime takes rough measures.





My last post is about what we need to make Abu Dhabi a cool city or a green city if you want to call it.

In Abu Dhabi green gases are getting more and more emitted to the atmosphere which makes global warming increases rapidly and after the sudden changes to development which will make Abu Dhabi more of a cool city so is other things in Abu Dhabi, the development are green but the people aren’t and we need to make some rules about that to make people more aware of global warming and what does it do.

First is to make them more aware then the rules should come ater that because people should know what will happen after that comes the changes. we must make posters of events that talks about global warming to let people to know what is and what does global warming do. Al Gore talk in his movie "An Incontinent Truth" about global warming for the past years and the predictions of what will happen based on scientifically evidences but a lot of people don’t want to see it, i think most of then prefer "A Reassuring Lie".

Media, stories, newspapers, and books will help a lot the majority of people in Abu Dhabi and for the student they should make a new course that only and only talks about global warming which rapidly make people minds think about it.

In cases of rules we must make tough rules to make people obey the course by force if we have to, make most of the shop that sells food to sell more food which are green to the environment and less pollution.
ii want to make a change in the world and I don’t care if I’m alone in it eventually i will have allies in the way to future and i will change and i will change people personality, life style and habits to make them greeny even if it had to be by force.


do i want to live in Masder or not ?

personal I would but its not something easy said than done and a lot of people might wonder why, life style is something a human is raised to be like either it good or bad friendly or environmentally but if i see other people it would be hard for them because the majority of people in UAE aren’t environmentally friendly which would make them hate to live in Masder city.

if i talk about myself it would be hard for me too but if i want to change a part of myself for a better cause i would gladly do that because i want to save the world from the effects of global warming, at first I didn’t know anything about global warming but after what i heard and the proofs I saw it became clear to me that someone has to take a stand for the future and if no ones wants to do that i would and that’s why I would like to life in Masder City.

How green do i think these development are ?

truly I don’t think it will be all greeny, if i gave you a percentage it would be 80% only because it has in some part global warming reducing technology but the other part is like a new life style and uses the same technology that increases global warming but overall 80% is too much for me so i think it is a greeny development in my opinion.

The coolest Development in my opinion

Saadiyat Island is the coolest in my opinion because it will hold many thing that most of the other development wont such as the amazing louvre museum.

Cool Cities in 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: Has replaced 414 of its polluting diesel buses with buses that burn natural gases.

3. Houston: Converted 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.

Do i think Cool Cities Project is realistic for UAE ?

Firstly its was what in the world are thinking but after what I saw in global warming and the effects that does and the Cool Cities project that UAE is doing right now it became clear to me and now we have a big chance because we have the resources really cheap considered to the other parts of the world. There are thing that we can do and don’t that reduce global warming.

Things we can do:

1. Using energy that are generated from solar generators and wind mill which cause less effects to the global warming and decrease it.
2. Using Hybrid car which runs on energy which is nearly 98% less pollution which will greatly decrease the effects of global warming especially in UAE.
3. Use the Windmill not only in generating energy but using them as an artificial breeze to cool the city instead of using AC with produce a lot of Fluorocarbon.

Things we can’t do:

1. Making people use Hybrid car or bicycles instead of cars because people in UAE have passion for cars and it is not easily to loss.
2. Cooling won’t be on in summer times and if it stays on it won’t be able to cover the UAE summer heat that could reach 50 Cْ which can make an overload to the generator which might cause problems in the future.
3. Its would be a shame if we could not make a Zero Carbon City and it would cost heavily.
