Carbon Footprint

There are various ways to measure our impact on the earth from an environmental standpoint. One major way is by way of our carbon footprint. In the following report I will defined what a carbon footprint is. I will show how a carbon footprint is majored show how I rank in cooperation to others and finally I’ll make some suggestion as to how we can reduce our carbon footprints.

Let’s know look at how best to defined of carbon footprint is. A carbon footprint is a means of measuring our emission of carbon for each individual after it’s recorded. It’s measured by GHG emission assessment (UK carbon Trust (2008)”carbon footprintg”).
At first you have to go in few steps in order to measure your carbon emission. First thing you have to find one of the sites that have the carbon footprint calculator. Secondly, you have to answer each question to show how many earths you have. Third, just take the number and record it. Finally do another one in a different site and record your second result. Then find the average and it will be your final carbon footprint.
In addition, I and my friends had different records and we ranked them from the highest to the lowest. I was the least as I got 2.65. The highest was oqab and his score was 6.73 and followed him Mohammed with a score of 4.16 and at last khalifa with 4.145 earths. Moreover, the UAE average footprint of individuals is 4.5 which is compared to me double my footprint use (Green dreams 5)
To sum up, my record was 2.63 earths it’s less than many of my colleagues .It made me happy that I am less harmful than others to our planet. I strongly believe that we have to reduce our carbon emission. I thing we have to burn less fuels and to find alternative energy sources.

An Inconvenient Truth

Every movie has comments from two sides, one is a positive comment and the other is negative. Now in this essay I am going to list the positive and negative comments from different writers about the movie “An Inconvenient Truth”. Finally, I am going to give my opinion on the movie.
To begin with, the movie had good positive points wrote by the writer. The writer notice that he presents his speech without being boring or extra serious but he made jokes and presented it well and in an entertaining way (O’Hara). This thing took the people attention and stopped them from getting fed up. Moreover, Gore gives the information and prevents it with evidence such as beautiful pictures of nature before and terrifying pictures after (O’Hara). One point worthy of mentioning is that the skill used by gore was an experienced person skill as he was once a vice president in the Clinton administration (O’Hara).
Secondly, some negative reviews had shown up. The movie was thought to be a promotion for Gore’s to be the future presidential candidate (Scott). He is trying to give the impression that he is a very good and a truly concerned man about the global warming issue. The movie contained a lot of scenes that are coming in the middle of the presentation about Gore’s history and life (Scott). These sense contained old pictures of him and his family and there old farms. Gore’s showing a scene of polar bears decreasing and getting endangered (Bailey).but this is not true as reports said that they are stable or increasing (Bailey).
In conclusion, I really liked this movie a lot. I found in very interesting as well entertaining. But what I didn’t like is the idea of making Al Gore looks like a saint and that he may have used this in a political play .In my opinion this is an important issue that we have to take in mind and try to solve it.
