My Carbon Footprint


In our life we do a lot of right choices and wrong turns. In the last few years the rate of pollution increased dramatically. Nowadays people have become like factories not directly but in one way or another. There is a thing that is called carbon footprint it is a way to measure how much your activity produces carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.


When I take the footprint quiz I discovered that I need 2.75 planets to live in. it’s the first time that I knew that our daily activates from the first sun light to the late hours of the night affect the environment. The way we are eating the kind of food we are eating or the clothes we are wearing for example when you go to a fast food restaurant you make your carbon footprint bigger. The way that food was produced like the tomato plant or harvested they need machinery to produce this amount of tomato and what about fertilizers all of these things produce greenhouse gases.


We must do some thing to help our planet and reduce our carbon footprint. There are many ways to do that for example lets switch off the lights if we didn’t need them or change to the new type of lights which uses less amount of electricity. Also we could depend more on the public means of transportation instead of using our cars each time we go out. Let’s walk or cycle to work for a change it’s also another way of getting healthy and getting rid of the obesity problems that our society suffer from it.


We can change our future its all depend on our will. Its easier to change our habits than our planet. Let’s help to make the world a better place to live in.

Solutions For Abu Dhabi

Some of the solutions that we can do to help people to be more aware of the situation:

  1. Is that the government could put a new law that’s says: private companies should pay tax or help in a way to fight the rising rate of pollution.
  2. Why not started the idea of reducing the pollution and the recycling methods during the educational years of the people life, starting from kindergarten to the high school level.
  3. Money encourages most of the people so why not pay the people who recycle there waste.

Why is it called An Inconvenient Truth

The movie "An Inconvenient Truth" was called like this because the movie contains a message that is saying that we have to fight our desires and change to help the planet and reduce the pollution and the emission of CO2.

Reaction on the movie An Inconvenient Truth

On my opinion Al Gore is great person and he is looking after a noble issue that for the good of the human being. If his ideas was applied in the real world I think we will be able to defeat the monster of pollution.

An Inconvenient Truth (Summary)


The movie’s name is An Inconvenient Truth. It is about global warming. In the movie the ex Vice-president Al Gore is talking about global warming and its dangerous effect on us. At first he said that the majority of land and vegetation is in the north side of the earth. After that he spoke about the Himalaya chain and the massive use of its snow for drinking. Almost 40% of the people of the earth get there drinking water from there. After the congress act to reduce the pollution rate and it was proved when they examine the ice. Later he talked about the relationship between the rate of CO2 and the temperature. Each time the rate of CO2 get higher the temperature rate will rise. The raising of the temperature will cause many things. One of them is the sea temperature will get higher that will make the hurricanes to get stronger. That also will cause ice melting in Antarctica and other areas which will raise the rate of the sea and then some of the lands and islands will drown. Also because of the melt downs we may have to draw a new world map. The huge population that is leading to raising the amount of pollution. In addition to that he was encouraging us to make the economy a friend of the environment. He was saying that we have to take care of the earth because it is the place that we live on and its our life and the future of our children.
