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.
