European Initiative

Summary:
In the beginning of the article there was a conflict or disagreeable about British to not be considered as a part of European country. Several European countries are making challenges to make a movement of changes for their climate and energy security in their own countries. Carbon dioxide got different percentages in European countries, but lowers than other countries around the world. European countries depends more on other resources such as water, air, tidal power and biofuels in introducing energy and that too these resources can be renewable. Some other countries like France; they use different resources like Nuclear for reducing the amount of Carbon dioxide. Furthermore, the European countries trying to put some new technologies in petrol station which can also reduce the toxic substance, and to save their environment. The Europeans were having a competition among each other in developing and having a hug amount of using a Nuclear energy in their countries rather than using other resources. Their next planning is to change the climate in order to have a less amount of Carbon in the future. Finally, due to the risk situation that European countries are in, they are trying now to get help from other countries and from all around the globe as well to come up with the solution of reducing a greenhouse gas in the weather which consider the main problem for the climate changing.


Main idea:
European countries are concerned about their climate changes, and about the amount of Carbon that is being produces from the daily activities. They are planning to use other resources like water, air, so on in order to reduce the amount of carbon. Moreover, they made different treaties with their sibling countries to get involved in how their climate can be changed.


Comments:
1- The countries must agree at least on something that will save their resources and their climate in future.
2- Greenhouse gas can form a serious matter if it started increasing on the weather.
3- European countries can unit together to form a strong united country and fulfill their planning.
4- Orientation can play a big role in warning people about how to use natural or renewable resources in order to have a less amount of carbon dioxide on the weather.

Carbon footprint

Carbon footprint
A Carbon footprint is the total of greenhouse gas emissions caused by a person, company or product. The carbon footprint is measured in units in kilograms of carbon dioxide. Another word which means carbon footprint is ecological footprint, and many others words.
I measured my carbon footprint at http://footprint.wwf.org.uk/ and it was 3.35 planets. The average of my class was about 3.67.
The main factors were:
1) Travel
2) Home
3) Food
4) Stuff
My carbon footprint is considered good when compared to the rest of my classmates; most of my classmates scored about 3.5-4.5; and I was about average so I believe that I did well compare to the rest of the class.

We can reduce our carbon footprint by changing our lifestyle, first we need to change the way we travel around. Since the UAE has a weak public transportation system, everyone uses his own car to go to work or travel around town. I don’t think changing one person’s life style will have a effect and we all need to change our lifestyle to have a slight change in this effect.

review of An Inconvenient Truth

Inconvenient Truth movie:
Starring: Al Gore
Directed by: Davis Guggenheim

This movie talks about a global warming. People had been divided in two parts after looking at this movie. Some of them got positive views like Helen OHara and some other negative views like Karina Montgomery.
Positive point of view:
About positive view, Helen said that it’s a Powerful, intelligent and surprisingly entertaining, Gore presents a compelling case. You’ll believe a film can change the world.

Negative point of view: (Karina Montgomery)
While it is a sobering film, it is not depressing...there might be more fun ways to spend your summer afternoon, but Gore infuses his talk with much more than just, as he calls it, a nature hike through the Book of Revelations.

My point of view about this issue, I think that Helen’s opinion about the movie is more conscious one and agreeable. Because after watching this movie, I too got the same feeling. I think people should look or think about the movie in positive way. This movie taught us many lesson about our environment in the past, present, and future. People should obtain knowledge and spot good ideas for their own benefit.In the movie, Gore got enough graphs, charts, and clear pictures about the environment changes. He treated his audience like adults, laying out a detailed, and explanation of what is going on our climate in the past, present and future. Moreover, the movie describes that’s it can certainly lead the rest of the world in stopping global warming.
