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.

Waleed, you did a nice job with this essay. If you have time to improve it, I suggest that you add a bar graph to compare the results of you and your classmates. You could also illustrate the carbon footprint of the UAE and the world.
ReplyDeleteAnother way to improve your essay is to have a friend look it over for spelling and typing mistakes. For example, you might find that "deferent" does not mean "different."
