Masdar city

Masdar city which will be high quality of live with the lowest environment footprint.
It's in Abu Dhabi which will have more than 50,000 people and will have many facilities such as market Shops, University, and hotels. All of the countries looking for this and waiting to see what the benefits and in the future many counties as I think will build as it. However we are lucky to have Masdar city which will be solution for global warming. It's adjacent to the Abu Dhabi air port and to the south of Abu Dhabi.

Abu Dhabi is developing to reduce environment impact of our lifestyle. Abu Dhabi has established the Masdar initiative in order to promote renewable energy solution and within a globally sustainable framework. This city is car free they will be new transport system their which called (Personal Rapid Transport).

To sum up, this city everyone wish to have a house their of course we are the first to hope to leave in it because it will be very nice city and with zero carbon and no pollution

Cool Cities in the USA are can solve global warming by:

1- Iowa first municipal wind turbine.

2- Klamath falls- geothermal heating system keeps the Sidewalks clear and dry.

3-Seattle reduces its own pollution by 60% by constructing green buildings and operating alternative fuel vehicles.

4- Houston Taxes: by 2010 all vehicle will become hybrid.

5-Salt lake city save $32000 a year on its energy cost by installing 861 light emitting diode (LED) traffic signals.

6-Washington DS: replace 414 of its polluting diesel buses with cleaner burning, compassed natural gas buses.

7-Colombia Missouri- working to produce 10% of there electricity with clear energy like wind and solar power by 2015.

8-Twin falls Idaho- School increased their efficiency of energy which caused to reducing in cost by $3.2 million.
9 ST. Paul has built a biomass fired power plant for heating buildings.

One Planet Living

Masdar is going to be developed using these 10 principles:

1- Zero carbon: nowadays the earth's atmosphere has negative impact.
2- Zero waste: throw some things and make some places dirty.
3- Sustainable transport: transport can make pollution which effect our planet a negatively.
4- Local and sustainable Materials: those can cause environment harm which we can use some things instead it.
5- Local and sustainable food: it's better to produce local food and take the benefits.
6- Sustainable water: restore natural water cycles.
7- Natural Habitués and wildlife: developing of natural areas can make loss.
8- Culture and heritage: the improvement and developing of the countries make the local losing.
9- Equity and fair trade: many poor people life where as the rich can not use their things positively or sell it.
10- Health and happiness: the rising of the wealthy but many people asking if some thing will be done?

My Carbon Footprint

A carbon footprint is a measure of the amount of carbon dioxide or CO2 and measures of the impact our activities. My carbon footprint score was 2.55 that means I'm living as if there were 2.55 earths it were poor for food I'm eating to much meat and also poor for transport because I'm using my car more than 8 hours daily. Now I am going to write about the problems and solutions.

There are several important problems human can cause and I'll outline my problems of carbon footprint. One major issue is that drive my car daily. Using my car more than 8 hours instead I walked or use other transport method such as motorbike or bicycle and this can make pollution. Another obvious problem uses the electrics when I don't need. Everyday I used the power wrongly such as I don’t turn off my room light when I leaved it and don’t turn off the AC or TV those things caused warm the plant. A final, don’t arrange my home. For example, when I finish watching TV I throw fast food in the home rubbish.

Although, there are some solutions. First significant answer is that turning off lights and any electrical machine. When I leave my home must do that if I don’t need to keep them turn on and use the electrical things positively. Another important answer is that don't travel by car or plane. For example, go to by my foot when I have to go some not far places or use a bicycle when I can. A last, I changed my daily food. I like today to eat vegetables instead of meats and fish.
In conclusion, everyone must reduce his footprint. However we live in one planet therefore, we must save it and do some thing positively.

Social Issues-Lebanon

Lebanon is the only country in the Middle East where there is almost an equal number of Muslims and Christians. It was called in the bible ''the land of milk and honey''. The capital of Lebanon is Beirut (Paris of western Asia).the famous singer is half Lebanon is ''Shakira''. It's bordered by five countries Jordan, Cyprus, Turkey, Syria and Israel.

Lebanon had many problems such as increased tensions between Muslims and Christians between 1943, 1948. Christians held the balance of power whereas Muslims had little this was the result of the tensions. In 1975 Christian groups killed a bus full of Palestinians people. In 1982 the Israeli army invaded the city with the aim of removing the Palestinian liberation organization (PLO). A pea's deal reached in 1989. There were human and economic costs of the conflict about 180,000 people died during the civil another 300,000 were wounded around a quarter of the population in Lebanon and Beirut's economy was moved. Some people born in Beirut are not Lebanon and don't have the Lebanese citizen right.

Nowadays, Lebanon is from best tourism countries in the world. Now the government of Lebanon started to build and renew the old buildings. The people who leaved Lebanon in civil war started to coming back to Beirut.

Why is it called “An Inconvenient Truth”?

Because a lot of people don’t know about it. It's really a truth issue in the world and all people over the world must know about it. Also they called it to take action about global warming. Many people don’t care about it and al Gore tried to let them know about "An Inconvenient Truth"

What should be done in Abu Dhabi to make people more aware of the situation?

UAE like other countries in the world which facing global warming today. Abu Dhabi must aware people about global warming. Therefore the government must write in newspaper about it everyday, also in TV must put a program show a day in week and make lectures at schools, colleges and university to aware people about a huge problem. Bring best Scientists in the world to explain to the people about what is global warming and what can cause. Advertising in the roads and, pictures everywhere to explain to people what it is and give people Al Gore film or show it at cinema. Abu Dhabi government should work hard to aware people about this huge issue.

cool cities

Nowadays, the world has many problems. An Inconvenient Truth film which we saw about the huge problem in the world today, it's global warming. Some countries have started to change the climate and some of them not because the global warming some of them have starts to build cool cities. Therefore the UAE today decides to make cool cities in Abu Dhabi and if this development happens will make the Abu Dhabi a cool city. Abu Dhabi will build Al Masdar city which a first city in the world hasn't pollution, this city will make Abu Dhabi from the best cities in the world. Last, I will outline in this project who should take action and how we can help our country to make it better and better.





An Inconvenient Truth

Al Gore's movie talked a bout global warming. It means an increase of the earth's temperature. He said this is one of the most serious environmental problems in the world. Moreover, if this problem countries in the future will be harmful for next generation. Now I'm to going to write about this movie.

This movie mentions several important effects of global worming. One significant effect is climate changes. Increasing the temperature therefore the climate gets warmer and high temperature leads to glacier retreat. Another major effect is that carbon dioxide. Scientists of the world said, this increase of carbon dioxide can have negative impact on the earth's atmosphere. Finally, global warming affect ocean's by raising the sea level for example, Greenland ice sheet and Anthracitic ice sheet.

There are also several causes of global warming. One obvious cause natural gas, this caused by cars and industries. Last important cause is greenhouse. This increase in the air and make more heat in the earth.

In summary, this is a huge problem in the world today. However, many people in the world know that global warming happening and they must take action and all the countries in the world should help other to find the solution to this.




Reaction

Some people don't know anything about global warming. I didn't know the real meaning of it until I saw the Al Gore movie.

When I saw this movie I realized that the global warming is most problems in the world. I also began thinking how we can reduce it and we should advice people and warn them about global warming.
In my opinion, the government of the U.A.E must take action about global warming and start to make solutions to reduce it. I also suggest that all countries in the world work together as a team to solve this dangerous problem.

My Profile

Life as a child

My name is Hussain Al Harthi. I was born in 1985 in Baniyas. My birthday is on 15th of July. I was living with my family in Baniyas, and then we moved to the city of Al showamak near Baniyas. In fact I was happy to live in our new house. On the other hand I was also unhappy to miss our old friends and neighbors and from time to time I try to visit them. My father was working for the police and some time he took me with him to visit his friends. My mother didn't work but she took care of me and my brothers and sisters. I have nine brothers and four sisters and I'm the middle brother. My grandfather and grandmother were living in the south of Saudi Arabia alone. I was five years old and they were old. Then my father said that I must go to live with them. Then I was unhappy to miss my parents, brothers, sisters and friends. On the other hand I was also happy to life with my grandparents and in new place. I went there and they loved me then they decided to teach me. I went to school when I was six. I made many friends. Then I started primary school. Before I finished it my grandfather decided to learned me how to drive. Then I learned driving that time I was thirteen years old. I was small and I had to put something to let me to see the street. I was very happy and sometimes I went to school with my grandfather car and I took my friends with me. I was coming every summer to U.A.E to see my parents, brothers, sisters and friends and some summers they come to Saudi Arabia to visit us.



My teenage years

The age of teenager is age of motion. Every body has good times and bad experiences that affect on their life forever. I am still remembering those days. I was going everyday outside home and coming back at midnight .when we were in high school we liked to smoke shasha and sometime if we have a break we ran a way from school and went to a café to smoke.


My travels outside the UAE

I have travelled to several places in the Middle East. Last year I flew from Abu Dhabi to Kuwait and stayed with my brother for a few days. I left Kuwait after three days and went to Damascus. It was the first visit to Damascus and I liked it very much. I stayed there for four days and then I flew to Istanbul. I spent a week in Istanbul and went sightseeing everyday. I visited the markets and some of the old mosques. Next I want to Cairo. I stayed there for a week. I went shopping in the markets and bought some presents for my family. I also visited the pyramids it is amazing thing. I enjoy the time in Cairo. That is all about my interesting trips.


My interests


I like playing football very much. I play with my friends in my free time. In addition, I play with the college team and I am a striker. Moreover I love to listen to music but not any music Just “Umm Khalthum” I love her voice very much. If I had the chance I would love to travel around the world this summer. My favourite film is “Titanic”. This is a very exciting film suitable for adult and children. I will describe the film. “Titanic” was the biggest ship ever built and people said it could not sink. However, it hit an iceberg and nobody could help the people on the ship. They were not enough life boats for everyone on the ship and many people died. Jack and Rose met on the ship. Jack was very poor but he won a ticket to go on the cruise. Rose’s family was very rich and she was going to marry another man. But Jack and Rose met and fell in love. Sadly, Jack died but Rose survived. When she was very old she went back to the place and found a piece of jewellery that Jack gave her. This is the all about my favourite film. I believe that if you work hard you will get what you want.

Something that has influenced me

Many things have influenced me but two of them were the most important influence me. The First one was the death of shake Zayed I didn't believe that news. Then I turned the T.V and I saw that I believed that the man of charity died and I was sad and the first Eid after his died I didn't feel it was Eid. The second thing which has influenced me is that when I started first semester at HCT at morning my father called me and told me that my grandfather died in Saudi Arabia and I went there and I stayed one week and I decided to stop that semester but my father disagreed and my friends called me and they told me I must come to complete my college after that I came back and I felt very sad about that. These two things have me.



My future

In the future, I hope to complete my higher diploma after I graduate with my diploma. Then I am going to work with the municipality and help in developing my country and I'll open my own company. I wish to open a construction company and I will work there in my free time.
