An Inconvenient Truth review

An Inconvenient Truth is a movie made by the vice president of the United State Al Gore. It talks about the dangers facing our earth especially global warming with the results and facts. Also he explained that the main cause of global warming is carbon dioxide which produced by the human activities like factories and different vehicles. Those gases affect the earth temperature.

In addition he showed the relation between the amount of carbon dioxide and the increase of the temperature over the years. Also he talked effects of global warming like the increasing in seawater level as result of ice melting from the polar and the unexpected natural disasters

Masdar city

Masdar city is the world's first zero-carbon, zero-waste, car-free city. The budget for master city will be about $ 22 billion. It will take eight years to build. 50,000 people will be able to live there. Masdar located near to the Abu Dhabi International Airport. The point is to reducing emissions by Masdar City and having clean development mechanism. Masdar city will be the first city for not using fossil fuel and gasses for power and use renewable energy like solar and wind instead.

Masdar also aims to prove that it is possible to live in limitation and improve the quality of people's lives. Masdar city will allow people to walk or to use bicycle for transportation. Most of the building and working places will be near each other. The city will be shaded in such a way to keep the city cool and clean from dust and sand storm.

Masdar’s green dream is not for all - keywords and bits

The Bits:
-----------

1- City that uses every bit of its available resources.

2- Electricity and water do nothing to change behaviour patterns.

3- The city of 50000 will cut its energy usage by 50-70 per cent.

4- City will be surrounded by acres of photovoltaic solar panels and wind turbine.

5- The world can live without using too much energy.

6- The resources are extremely cheap.

7- Reduce emissions while lowering energy costs for the city.

8- Recyclable rubbish will be run through a gasification machine.

9- Transportation is a major source of global warming pollution.

10- Public transport and waste recycling are not existent.

Renewable energy solution

Renewable energy is the natural clean sources of energy like the sun and wind.The first solution is Renewable Energy Standards. Another solution is Solar and Wind Installations by use this energy to produce our electricity and water.

Energy efficiency solution

Energy efficiency means using less energy by using a better technology to generate the power for the city. It has several solutions like making new buildings more energy efficient. Another solution is use the light emitting diode (LED) because it turns off if there enough lights so it save the energy. Also Cities can benefit from energy efficient by a system that combines heat and power.

Green vehicle solutions

Green vehicle solutions are the technology exists today to reduce global warming pollution from cars, trucks and SUVs. People should green their cities with more trees and use hybrid gas electric and other vehicles that go farther on a gallon of gas. Also Governments have to encourage people to buy hybrid vehicles by providing them free parking and lower registration fees and taxes. In addition, they can change the old buses with new buses work with hybrid-electric diesel or natural gas which are friendlier with environment

What can we do?( Carbon Footprint )

There are many solutions for carbon footprint issue. For example use renewable energy like solar and wind generator instead of the fusel fuel to produce electricity. Also we have to reduce the using our cars and trying use public transport. Another solution is to buy the local food and product to reduce the carbon produced from importing goods from outside. Also we have to encourage recycling.

Measure your footprint

I have used the Footprint calculator to measure my footprint and it came to 2.92 planets. My usage of food was 27%, travel 3%, home 29% and 41% for stuff. I don’t thing this measurement is suitable for Middle East because the different climate. For example we can't use bicycle in U.A.E because it's very difficult due to the hot weather.

Carbon Footprint ! - What is it ??

In general a carbon footprint is the total amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases emitted over the full life cycle of a product or service and measured in units of carbon dioxide. Green houses and human activities are responsible to produce carbon dioxide. Every one has his own carbon footprint, which comes from the different activities like heat, light, refrigeration, emissions from cars and freight and all activities that generate carbon emission. There are two kind of Carbon Footprint, primary and secondary carbon footprint.
