My Profile

First of all my name is Hamad I am 19 years old and I study in ADMC. I was born in Dubai on the 10th of January 1989. I was raised in Khorfkan a small city on the east coast of the UAE. I lived half of my life in Khorfkan and the other half in Abudhabi. When I was a child it was my best days. Because I was spoiled in this days, I was the only son so if I felt that I didn’t want to go to school I wouldn’t bother talking to my grandparents . When I was a child I used to go to the sea with my grandfather but he didn’t take me with him for fishing because I was too young. One day I insisted to go with him I was only 6 years old and he toke me. It was one of the best days of my life.

When I was a teenager my life changed 180 degree. I become the most irresponsible boy. I was always outside the house playing some games in the internet cafes our just seating with my friends and talking or doing something foolish. Thanks to goad I become more mature in the high school. It is great to be a teenager but you have some problems, because you don’t support yourself and you always have to ask for money or for a ride to the place you need to go. I used to be interested In Internet and chatting. I wasted most of my time on nothing.

My trips abroad

I didn’t travel very much most of my vacation in the UAE but sometimes we traveled to Qatar or Bahrain. One of my best summers is the one when I was 16 years old we went to Qatar. In that summer we went on a trip to the desert and enjoyed racing with motorbikes and camping .It was fun but it didn’t continue because my cousin was injured. He fell from the bike and broke his hand. Also we were allowed to drive the car in the desert. That was a summer that I well remember it for ever.

My interests

I like to change and I get bored easily. I am interested in racing cars. It’s the only thing that I like since I was a child. Some people think that a car is only a mean of transportation but I think that cars are a way of art. In my free time I go to the cinema. I like comedy and action movies. Also I like to go swimming in the sea or going on trips to the desert. In the winter I like to go with my friends to barbecue parties. If I couldn’t go out of home I would set on the computer and chat with other people. I like meeting new people on the Internet so I can learn new things.

In the future

When I was a child I dreamed of becoming a pilot but while I was growing I saw many other things and the most thing that influenced me has my uncle. When he was my age he was a normal boy studying in the college. After finishing and got his degree he worked in a company. He started getting higher and didn’t stop. He started building his own business. After his having small company his business started to get larger. Now he is a successful businessman, also a great father for his children that why I would like to be like him.

Introduction to cool cities

In the world the rate of pollution is getting higher each day and the global warming situation is getting worse. Global warming is causing a lot of problems and has become the most threaten thing in the world. The people all over the world is starting to recognize the situation and try to reduce the rate of pollution. The latest way of saving the planet is by creating cool cities. A cool city is a city with out pollution or so less CO2. Create a cool city in your imagination what do you think it will look like? Abu Dhabi is going to be the first to create such a city. In my blog I am going to write about global worming and cool cities. Also I am going to write about our carbon footprints in detail. I will use critical thinking to write this research and will try to offer the best information that I will get from many sources.

We’ll save the planet only if we’re forced to

The eco system was doing well before the humans start to change things in it by the years people started to pollute the earth more and more. At first the earth could adjust with the small amount of pollution but after few centuries the pollution become worse and the eco system couldn’t adjust with the amount of gases that are thrown in the air. Tons and tons of gases each day. The people should be forced by the governments to change the way of life style so that we save the plant from the global warming. Instead of giving the right to choose rather to change or to continu with there normal life style. So the governments should but new laws to stop the people from polluting the earth.

Reaction:
I don’t agree with this statement because a lot of people are happy to change but there is others who are not thinking of change and help the environment even if you put a gun on there heads. So we can’t say that all the people have to be forced to change. Let’s show them how to change to the better let’s show them the evidences of the global warming and what is the dangerous that we will force if we didn’t change our life stile. The people aren’t animals to put a rope on there necks and lead them.

Is Abu Dhabi a cool city?

I don't think that Abu Dhabi is a cool city becuse there is a lot of pollution and they didn't achive to reduce there carbon footprint. In the future I think they could bulid bulidings with heat proffer walls.

Abu Dhabi – A Cool city?

Many people ask them selves is Abu Dhabi a cool city or not considering the recent studies and the facts Abu Dhabi is not a cool city. But every thing could be changed and the plans for the new projects (the cities) that are starting to build are considering the environment as the first priority.

(For example the Saadiyat island and the Emirates Pearl where the Saadiyat Island development and has established strict development criteria with consideration for the natural environment being the number one priority. Also the buildings are using the methods of energy saving, resource saving & limitation of the emission of harmful substances throughout the life cycle of the building .harmony with the local climate, traditions & surrounding environment .Development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generation to meet their own needs (UN definition of Sustainable design.) .Optimization of the Building Orientation)(1).

Anything could be changed and Abu Dhabi could be a cool city in the future why not with the money that they have the will and the modern technology any thing could be established.

SDCJ cool cities

Each day because of the industrial revolution and the rising of the number of people all over the world we are facing the dangers effects of pollution. More than 90 percent of the pollution is coming from the means of transportation and the building. If we didn’t do any thing to prevent that (reduce the amount of pollution) we will need a new earth to live in which is impossible to happened. SDCJ introduced a new method to protect the world it manly for the gulf region which is cool cities.

SDCJ is a japans company that created a new type of cool cities. SDCJ cool cities will reduce the amount of carbon dioxide and will make the power consumption more efficient with many methods. The first method is that they will use solar energy and will use some ways to cool the buildings with the air going through it. Also the streets will be covered with some kind of filter that reduce the heat of the sun and let the cool breezes come through it. To reduce the amount of pollution the cool cities will be divided into three parts to make it easier to reach any area of it while enjoying walking in the shaded streets. Also they will use solar boats and Hybrid cars and trains not the old type of trains it’s a new model that reduce the amount of pollution. The city is surrounded with trees to prevent the sand shifting.

The SDCJ cool cities will reduce more than 60% of the carbon dioxide and will make our life and the life of our children better and safer considering the diseases that come from the pollution.

Why would I like to live in Masder city?

Abu Dhabi started to build the first city of it kind which is Masdar city. Masder city will be a city with zero carbon dioxide and with less pollution. I would like to live in Masder city in the future after it finished if I could afford to live in it.

Why would I like to live in Masder city? That is the question I asked my self when I read the article about it. At first I didn’t like the idea of living in a city where you are not allowed to drive a car in but after thinking a lot and seeing the situation from other side I relisted that with out cars in the city there will be no congestions in the morning when I am going to the work. Also I will suffer less from my allergy and I will sleep better at night because the noise of cars will be less. In addition to that every thing that you need will be near you like the shopping mall, the GYM or even the clinic. I thought also that I would be healthier because I will walk more to the places I want to go to. The reason for that is that the streets will be shaded so instead of hiding from the sun I will be enjoying my self or jogging to keep my body fit.

There are a lot of other reasons why I would like to live in Masder city that make me whish if Masder city was build before but the main reason that why I would like to live in Masder city is to save the world from pollution and destruction.
