foot print

Human activity is the mean reason of the green house effect. In this essay I will write about what carbon footprint mean, how we can measure our foot print, I will compare my foot print with my friends in the class and some idea to reduce our carbon footprint.

Carbon Footprint is a measure of the impact our activities have on the environment. It depends in the amount of greenhouse gases we produce in a day. And it has units of tones (or kg) of carbon dioxide equivalent.

We can measure our Carbon footprint from different web sites, one of them is HeroesoftheUAE.com. First you should answer some questions about your way of living and it majored the percentages of the carbon footprint that we consume, also the footprint.wwf.org.uk web site, which collected the percent of food, items, transport, and home stuff that we use in our life.

I got 1.4 carbon footprint from HeroesoftheUAE.com although my classmates got a higher band from me which are 2.3 and 1.8 carbon footprint because there have a bigger houses than me. Also from footprint.wwf.org.uk I got 3.6 carbon footprints. This time I was in the top. My classmates got 2.1 and 3.2. That because my family like to travel every year.

To conclude, we should care about footprint because it effects our life and the environment around us. One way to do this is to try to use other power resources like solar system. Another solution is to reduce our using of oil and electricity

the reviewof " an Inconvenient Truth"

In An Inconvenient Truth, the movie talks about global warming which the earth faces. The movie talks about the problem of global warming and some possible solutions for it. Some people like Al Gore’s talk and the others do not. In this blogs, I will talk about some positive ideas and some negative ones.

First as a positives idea for An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore hangs on with his idea. So he attracts people's attention. As Paul Arendt said in his Reviewed in BBC films website, Al Gore was not a movie star, but he does a lot to have a really great slide show.

Now let us look at why An Inconvenient Truth got negative views, the film is not accurate as Gregg Easterbrook said in the thinksmart.typepad.com website. The movie estimated the sea level, and some other things. So, Al Gore wants to make the things bigger to take care of it for all people.

As a conclusion, I agree with Al Gore, because he has a big view in global warming, so he wants people to take care of the planet. No matter what others say about him. We have to preserve the earth to live in it for a better life.
