The Carbon Footprint

The Carbon Footprint is a measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in tones of carbon dioxide. Now I am going to report on my measurement of carbon footprint.

I measured my carbon footprint using two websites. In the first website, there were many questions asking about few habits in my life. For examples, food, way of traveling, some information and consumptions in my home (Carbon Footprint) and my average was 3.20. The next website is about the consumptions for UAE households. It is something, it measure the activities of our household. For examples, cooling, cooking and more. However it compares your average with others to support your household energy (Household Carbon Footprint Calculator). My average was normally.

Many people did same thing, not just me. I compared myself with the classmates. I sow there are a little different with them. I compared with three of them and I was the forth. My average was 2.45. The first one of my friend was waled, he got lower than me. Than khalile got more than waled by two. Salem got 3.20 and alawi got more than me. Regarding in the country, the average was 2.2, it’s lower than me (Pardi).

I think the average of carbon footprint in very high. That means the energy make it very high. So we should to reduce it by reducing the using of energy. The main idea is we should work to gather. The ways to reduce it are Switch to green electricity and insulate your home properly.

An Inconvenient Truth Reviews

An Inconvenient Truth is a movie by Al Gore. The man explained global warming, how is it going in the earth. The film got many reviews from many people in the world. Some of them are negative and some of them are positive. Now I will describe them and give my opinion about the movie.

First, some people disliked the film. Some people see An Inconvenient Truth by negative side because some of them think the film mentioned about his explanation and clarification was confusing by pictures and ominous graphs. One of negative reviews mentioned that slightly warmer temperatures are not bad. Also he said, An Inconvenient Truth is a determination appears to be as much about supporting Al Gore’s presidential prospects as it is about seriously examining climate change (Rhodes).

Second I want to talk about the positive side. Many people liked this film and what the man said. In addition they learned and understood many things they did not know, actually the problem. Regarding the reviews l liked one of them. He mentioned that the film An Inconvenient Truth is a warning film. In addition, he said An Inconvenient Truth is an advising film that wills material the attitudes of those who believe that man is demolishing his environment (Clifford). So he agrees with him. So he gave him a good mark.


In conclusion, everyone has an opinion. Some of them agree with him and some disagree with him. Regarding me, I agree with him because he wanted to deliver the idea to everyone. I think he was not thinking about the presidential prospects; he just wanted to say the truth. This film is a very good movie if warns and advises us about the terrible truth of global warming.
