Cool City Comments



Good Adaptations:

1) Hybrid cars & Solar ships: Those transportations recharged their energy by storage system, this adaptation consider as one of the best because its banned the burning of the cars oil which will reduced the carbon dioxide proportion on the air. This adaptation is an extremely useful alternative solution.

2) Solar powered plant farms: this adaptation used for providing the plants with energy which came from a connection with a solar powered machine.

3) Public transportations: The Light Rail Transit is of those Public transportations which factorized in the cool cities. These transportations used to reduce the percentage of greenhouse gases.


Bad Adaptations:

1) Complicated Towers: the design technology which provided with natural lights, water and being comfortable with the gulf regions climate.

2) The Cost: This city is too costly because it required a high quality features and options to free this city from carbon dioxide.

3) Water Shortage: This city is in fact an island which surrounded with water and that is rare.

My Carbon Footprint: Problems & Solutions


Carbon footprint is a measure method that illustrates how much does the human can affect the environment because of his or her activities in stead of greenhouse gases. The carbon footprint also measured capacity of carbon dioxide that we factorized it.


I found a website which can calculate my carbon footprint. This website is http://footprint.wwf.org.uk/. My carbon footprint is 3.70 planets out of 6.65 hectares. In fact my carbon footprint levels are very high because it scored more than the half and that considered as a dangerous level which is harmful for environment. Now I am going to outline the reasons that consists my carbon footprint and I will mention the solutions to reduce and banned my carbon footprint.


There are several factors that can contain my carbon footprint level. The major factor is my travelling by airplane which burned a massive size of carbon dioxide. The next main problem is that I spent more than five hours every day with my electronic devices and that used a lot of electricity which depend on burning oil. Another issue which is eating meat and fish and the difficulties to be a vegetarian because I am eating meat since my born.


There are several solutions to reduce my carbon footprint. One of the solutions is that to change my transportations as much as possible from cars and airplanes to bicycle or even walking. The second solution is to reduce my use on the electronic devices by using it for the significant requirements. The last solution but not the least is to change my food system to a healthy diet at least because its hard to me to be vegetarian.

To conclude, the solutions to reduce my carbon footprint are a lot, but the problem is to apply these solutions to the real.

“An Inconvenient Truth"

“An Inconvenient Truth"

“An Inconvenient Truth" a movie was made by a formal presidential candidate Al Gore. In this Science film he focuses on one the most significant problem in our life which is global warming. Al Gore illustrates his presentation film in an exciting way which makes it won two academic awards. Collecting pictures, statistics, graphs and also funny videos, all of that made this issue "Global Warming" a Fact that many people were not aware of it or some of them were not believe in it. Al Gore makes an excellent example of one solution to reduce CO2 level (Smoking). He started a campaigned against smoking cigarette after his sister death from lung cancer. Al Gore family also closed a tobacco farm which they had in the past. Although he tried to protect the people from global warming but there was a cane of coca cola on his desk in China, which is a bad example for the people.

In conclusion, I believe that Al Gore tried hard to deliver the idea of what the world is facing, and what the harmful effects could happened if we don't move fast to stop or even ban the reasons of the Global warming.
