Masdar city ( Opinion )

In my opinion Masdar city is an excellent project because in my vision this city will be a flagship in the future to face the global worming. It's impressive because everything in this city will recycle and the people will not need any nonrenewable energy in this city. Nothing is impossible, I appreciate that UAE government's support this city by money and attract companies to build this city.

Masdar city

Masdar city is the city near to the airport of Abu Dhabi which car-free city, zero-waste and zero-carbon. The government has provided a budget of US$22 billion to build this city. Masdar city provides more than 70,000 jobs to attract people and the government is using the best technology and renewable energy to create a cleaner city. Moreover Masdar Institute of Science and Technology (MIST) will support a group of students and professors to focus on developing the next generation of solutions to the world's growing dependence o fossil fuels. About 1500 houses for business people and 50000 houses for the other people will build in the Masdar city. Also Masdar city will save tons of CO2 by using a solar power.

Renewable energy solutions

Renewable energy is the natural clean sources of energy like the sun and wind. The benefit of renewable energy is reducing the global worming and it can replace the nonrenewable energy. We can get the electricity by using modern wind turbines and solar cell.

Energy Efficiency Solutions

Energy efficiency means using less energy by using a better technology to generate the power for the city. By reducing energy we can save energy and reduce the global worming. The solution to make new building more energy efficient is designing building with a high quality of standards. By developing lighting, heating, cooling, and other operations the energy of existing buildings will be reduced. Another solution to get energy and save money is replacing the traditional lights with a light emitting diode (LED) bulbs. Also the government can support the energy efficiency project by using the money from the raising cost on consumer energy bills. Other solution we can produce both electricity and steam by using combined heat and power systems.

Green Vehicle Solutions

Transportation is the main source to increase the global worming. For example old buses pollute the air by smell of black smoke. On the other hand governments buy vehicles to provide the taxpayer services. There are many solutions to solve these problems. First governments can reduce the air pollution and save their money by greening their fleets with hybrid gaselectric or gallon of gas. Second they can also encourage people to buy hybrid vehicles with facilities such as free parking and low taxes. Third they can change the old buses with new buses work with hybrid-electric diesel or natural gas which are friendlier with environment

Cool cities

Cool city is the place where you find three qualities on it cleaner vehicles, energy efficiency, and renewable energy. It is the main solution to stop the global worming. Moreover it's a great idea to change our resource from nonrenewable energy to renewable and depend on it. Also it saves taxpayer and makes our life healthier than ever. By taking an effective actions to build cool cities will be an injection to stop the global worming.

What can we do?( Carbon Footprint )

There are many solutions to reduce the increasing of carbon dioxide. We shouldn't travel by air but of course it's difficult to us. Another solution is using renewable energy. For example we have to stop using oil and gas because they wastage energy and I think the government should find out another renewable energy. We have to using a mass transit more than using car and train. The third solution is growing trees. Trees can give O2 and take CO2. Human can also reduce buying food, traveling by train, wasting electricity.

Measure your Footprint

After I measured my footprint I found that I need about two planets or more space to live. I found that I spend my money in stuff more than other things about %31. After that I buy food and eat at %28. The lowest percentage in my footprint is the home which at %17. My footprint is approximately 10.12 tonnes per annum and I think it's not very high but I support the problem by increasing the carbon dioxide in the air. However, in my opinion in future, these records will be double because I'm growing up.

What is Carbon Footprint?

A Carbon Footprint is a measure of the impact human activities have on the environment. Green houses and human activities are responsible to produce carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is two oxygen atoms with single carbon atom. There are two kind of Carbon Footprint the first one is a primary footprint and the second is secondary footprint. Primary footprint is measure the direct impact of human activities on the environment for example gas and electricity. On the other hand secondary footprint is measure the indirect impact of human activities on the environment for example bottled water and eating red meet. Human activities cause many problems for example the temperature is increasing and the climate is changing.

An Inconvenient Truth ( Opinion )

In my opinion An Inconvenient Truth is a fantastic movie because it shows for people that their life in risk because of global worming. I like this movie because the phenomena are shown with more information and comparing between these days and ten hundred years ago. I strongly agree with Al Gore when he wants to make people more seriously. There are many solutions to face the global worming. First I suggest countries to use renewable energy and leave using nonrenewable energy. It's a good idea to put the factories outside of the city and better to reduce them. I believe that creating a peaceful life in our hands.

An Inconvenient Truth

An convenient Truth is a movie show the dangerous of global worming with the results, facts and convincing style. Al Gore lost his U.S. presidential election in 2004 against Bush. Moreover he lost his battle when he tried to make people more seriously to face the global worming. He didn't give up and sent his massage by making An convenient Truth movie. Al Gore compares the two graphs of temperature in the northern Hemisphere and CO2 concentration in the past 1000 year. The results are ocean temperature rising, more tornados, hurricanes and strong big waves. Also in the North Pole the ice is melting so of course the sea level is increasing. He provides many solutions to solve the global worming and to make the people serious.

What is my project?

English 174 cool cities project is a project should summarize 12-18 essays by your own words (don't copy and paste) and have a good blog with a lot of pictures and video. First I should create new blog for me. After that I have to write about myself. Then I have to watch An Inconvenient Truth movie to summary and tell my opinion about it. Then I have to look at what is the footprint? Measure your footprint and what can we do?. Third I have to write about cool city, Green Vehicle Solutions, Energy Efficiency Solutions and Renewable Energy Solutions. Forth I have to summarize Masdar city and give an opinion. I should put all of these summaries with pictures and video. Then I have to do a presentation to show what I did in this project.
