In the past, people didn’t use electricity such as transport. However, now as the wheel of technology is running people use different types to produce electricity A carbon footprint is a method to get the amount of the carbon dioxide that we produce from what we use.. Now I will describe my research into carbon footprint and compare my research with others students.




I visited two different websites were I calculated my carbon footprint. The first one (WWF). I did the test and I got the result which was 3.24 earths. The test was in four categories which were food 20%, home 25%, travel 35% and stuff 20%. These men that we need 3.24 earths if everybody live the same lifestyle I live. However, in the other side(Heroes of the UAE) my result was 1.7 earths. Most my carbon footprint was in cooling and IT. The average of the two website was 2.5 earths and 14.31 tones of CO2 pear year.

I compared my result with my classmates. My first classmate Anas got 2.8 earths and he is almost close to my result. The second consumer Abdul Rahman got 2.17 earths. The third consumer Mutlaq who got the highest score 3. earths unlike the rest of us, he comes to college by helicopter. The average person in the UAE has more demand on the global ecosystem than any others countries giving the world’s largest per-capita ecological footprint.

It’s really recommended to start using renewable sources than non renewable resources. Furthermore, maybe I could reduce the hours I use the car by planning exactly where I have to go. I could also go to college with my brother because one car is better than two cars. My advice is that we have to start to think about our planet future by developing high technology industry and reduce our electricity usage.

"An Inconveninet Truth Review"

The An Inconvenient Truth movie shows the danger effect of global warming on our planet. It shows also a true evidences and figures to prove that danger. But it seems to be more political movie than a documentary movie. In this argument essay I will go through two opposite opinions belongs to two different writers and write my opinion.



One of the writers wrote a preview about the movie and thinks the movie is a political movie rather than being a documentary. It’s made to put pressure on Bush’s administration. "Al Gore might use the film as a platform for the 2008 presidential Run" (Morris). Also he was emotionally driven by using few sad stories.



On the other hand the oppisite writer thinks that the movie is a well made documentary and edited to show how fast the earths’ temperature is increasing. It is a necessary film to educate the people and show how big is the global warming issue (Scott). The movie was not about Al Gore as the bigger part of it was to animate the climate changes in a professional and intelligent way to convince the audience (Scott).



In my point of view about this great movie is that, this movie has showed the issue of global warming in the very true way and has all the needed data to prove the size of the issue. It is a good step to watch this movie and keep moving in changing and correcting the human faults.
