cool cities (Additional Postings 2)
The modern cities increase the amount of the CO2. That’s the main causes of the global warming. However, they built new cities can reduce the CO2 and make the people lives in healthy environment called cool cities. In this essay I will prove some points why cool cities not practical to live in future.
First, to build small cool cities, it will cost more than 20 billion dollar. For that the cost of the rent will be expensive. Not everyone can pay that much unless if he rich. Another point is that the cool cities cannot receive everyone. It contains specific number of people. For example Masdar city can contain maximum of 50,000 people. Yet another point is that it is difficult to change your lifestyle. Because in that city you should to change it. For example go to the work by bicycle.
In conclusion, the way of cool cities lifestyle is difficult. In my opinion it is the greatest way to reduce the pollution, but the life there will not be easy.

What I learn from this course. (Additional Postings 1)
Last year I join the beautiful college ever in the world. This is my second year on it. In the first year I learned many things. But in this year i had study English 174. At the begging I didn’t like the course. But I realize what important is that. It helps me in my reports and project on other subjects. I learned how to summarize a topic with 2500 words in maximum of 300 words. Moreover, I learn a lot of vocabulary that’s help me in my study. In addition, I used to read more and got out the main idea from any article I read. So in my opinion this course is one of my favorite courses I had until now.
Task 7
The previous few years have seen significant development in the industrial sector which led to an increase in pollution rate and caused various environmental issues. One of the recent important issues that we are facing and got the attention of many is “Global Warming”. As recently the Global temperatures on both land and sea have increased because of different issues. Most people know that owning a car impacts on the environment – but less are aware that buying new clothes and going out for dinner also result in CO2 pollution.
The amount of the CO2 increase in many ways. For example, by cars. Nowadays cars cause a lot of CO2 in new modern city. That is because almost everybody in the world used cars. Cars that run solely on gasoline create air pollution and consume petroleum (Miller). In many ways it can rise the temperature of the city. The percentage of the CO2 different between every type of cars. Four wheel cars make almost double amount of CO2 as salon cars.
There are many solutions for this issue in project called “Cool City”. This city like a friend of the earth. One of these solutions is that to change the life style. In this city you should change the way of the transportation. You can walk to the job or use public transpiration for example. Moreover, the number of cars will reduce in this city. However, the power came from sun, wind and water. So the amount of CO2 will reduce. As a result the carbon footprint will reduce as will. In addition, that will cut its energy usage by 50-70 per cent. (Masdar’s green dream is not for all)
It is clear that “Cool City” aims to provide people healthy environment by reducing the increase of CO2 in the environment. Moreover, it is hard to change the life style but is someithng we should to use of it to save our earth. In my opinion, if we reduce the number of the cars, the CO2 will drop down fast. However, the government should make the people put filters in the cars and check up the cars.

cool cities
Most of the modern cities make help to increase the amount of global warming danger. However, there are many ways to build cool cities to reduce polluting which came from buildings, transportations and new modern life style. Like Masdar city. In this essay I will write about some problems of these cities and why these cities are not useful for everyone.
First of all, it is hard to build cool cities in every country. Because it is extremely expensive for most countries unless if it were rich. For example Masdar costs about $22 billion (Masdar’s green dream is not for all). It looks that building cool cities will make Economic crisis for the country or for the world in general.
Other reason is that cool cities can not Receiving everyone. For example Masdar is one of the biggest cool cities project, but it contain maximum of 50,000 people (Masdar’s green dream is not for all). Let’s think how many cool city we should to build when the population will reach to approximately 9 billion people (Daily galaxy)

Last reason is that difficult for everyone to change his lifestyle. For example people who used to ride a car to their work, it will take long time to go by walking instead of car. Especially if he live in hot area. So it is impossible for some people to live in cool cities.
In conclusion, cool cities are not for everyone. In my opinion cool cities is one of the greatest ways to reduce pollution and also change our future to better. However, the government should Encourages people to change their lifestyle and reduce CO2.

Carbon footprint
Many people spend the energy without think about it. Moreover every person who lives in this earth has a carbon footprint. It is means the total use of greenhouse gas by an individual. In this essay will describe the result of my carbon footprint and my classmates.
There are many ways to measure your carbon footprint. One of this ways was by visiting website. We used two sites. The first site was wwf, in this site will be measured your rating of food, travel, home and stuff. And I had a high result is 5.53 planets (WWF). However, the other site measure ten categories like cooling and water uses. In this site my result was 1.2 planets (Heroes of the UAE). That’s completely deferent from the first one. That’s because in WWF site the measure about food and travel but on the other hand in hero of UAE they didn’t.
The results for sure are different from person to other. So my classmate has different earth equivalent. The highest result was me. The lowest one was Abdulazez with 3.39 planets. In addition, the carbon footprint of the world is 4 tons of co2 per person. (Time for change).
In conclusion, if we spend the same amount of carbon the world will end in few years. So we should be careful in our life. There are simple ways to have less carbon footprint. One of these ways turns off the electricity when we don’t have to use it. Another solution is that spend a limit liters of water per day if necessary.

An Inconvenient truth, present by Al Gore’s. It is movie describe the causes of the global warming. Moreover points some solutions for this problem. However, I will describe tow reviews of the movie one of them positive and the other negative. Also i will give my opinion.
There are few people disagree with Mr. Al Gore, for example someone wrote an open letter to Gore criticizing his presentation of climate science in the film, asserting that the Arctic had a similar temperature in the 1930s before the mass emissions of carbon dioxide began. Also he thought that the information in the movie was incorrect. So that he didn’t like it.(Roy)
On the other hand, there are a lot of people who accept an inconvenient truth movie. Some of them said it is a beautiful movie. And someone said it is Powerful, intelligent and surprisingly entertaining, Gore presents a compelling case. You’ll believe a film can change the world (OHara) However, many people change their mind when they say the movie. And believes that is a series issue we should find solution for it. Or it will end the world soon.
In conclusion, in my opinion the movie was very interested. And it is a good way to know more about the global warming. And the way for the presented is very attractive.

summary
“Inconvenient Truth” was produced by Al Gore, in 2006. That’s talking about the global warming.
Global warming is the increase in the temperature of the earth. During the last 50 years the greenhouse gases are responsible for most of the temperature increase. So that make several effects, the main effect is that the ice is milting every single day. And that water covers the lands. The implication of this is the countries will be smaller over the years, and many people will be died or homeless.
On the other hand, there are many solutions for this issue. We should cut down the use of electricity. In addition we also can use bicycle instead of cars to go work.
Overall, in my opinion we must start teach our children how to save our planet. And also grows in their mind behavior that helps them to live in a clean world without greenhouse problems.

Global warming
Global warming is the increase in the temperature of the earth. During the last 50 years the greenhouse gases are responsible for most of the temperature increase. So that ice melts in oceans and the countries will be smaller because of water. And many people will die or become homeless. There are more effect also on the plant and animals. Many plants be damaged so the animals die. On the other hand there are some solutions for global warming. We should to cut down the used of electricity and cars. And start to use the buses to go to work.
In my opinion we need to start seriously in this issue. To make our planet natural and clear. I will turn off my laptop now to cut down the global warming. So what you will do?
