Why I would like to live in Masdar city?

Masdar city is the first project in the world that UAE run to do next five years. It is the first city zero carbon zero waste (natural city). This project is a dream that every body looks forward it. My plan is to live in the Masdar in the future. Now I am going to explain way?

First do you think once that you live in city without dieses? This city includes natural stuff, such as electronic car and machine work without petrol and gas. Another thing is the system of life which depends of natural power solar energy. In addition of the reason is the fresh air and beautiful natural view which attract people to live in it.

As you can see, Masdar is an amazing city with his entire wonderful feature. In my opinion all cities all over the world should be start of new life and follow Masdar city.

Abu Dhabi - A cool city?

Abu Dhabi is one of the growing cities in the world. It is now go through to join the other famous cities development by the global important event, Masdar City and the Cultural District. Now I am going to explain the importation of these projects.

Masdar City is the world's first zero-carbon, zero-waste, car-free city. It's located by Abu Dhabi International Airport about 6.5 kilometer district. Masdar CEO Dr. Sultan Al Jaber announced a total development budget for the city of US$ 22billion. The city will save in a quarter of the century about US$2 billion. It's also will improve benefits of technologies, for example photovoltaic cells and concentrated solar power.


The Cultural District is one of the important projects in Abu Dhabi. It's going to be located in the Saadiyat Island. Its will be the area of high class museums, such as the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi contemporary art museum, the Louvre Abu Dhabi universal museum, a performing arts centre, a maritime museum, the Sheikh Zayed National Museum and a Biennale Park with 19 pavilions. It's will be created by the famous architectural experts for example Zaha Hadid (Performing Arts Centre) and Tadao Ando (Maritime Museum).

In conclusion, Abu Dhabi is a development city .It look forward to have another income for the country by those projects. It's also giving an example for the world to understand how all future cities should be built.

One Planet Living

One Planet Living

Zero carbon: change of climate because the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere causes by human.

Zero waste: human rubbish and the factories garbage equal pollution.

Sustainable transport: the pollution causes by transportation for example car plane... etc, also the crowded noisy.

Local and sustainable materials: the industry sources, such as recycling and manufacturing materials which due to environmental problems.

Local and sustainable food: the food factories need transportations that mean pollution.

Sustainable water: the produce of water faced problems because of pollution.

Natural habitats and wildlife: loss of biodiversity because of human development in the natural area.

Culture and heritage: lose of the cultural and heritage all over the world due to lose local identity and knowledge.

Equity and fair-trade: usually poorest people live in the industrial region while the people in development area are rich.

Health and happiness: the increase of life standard made people healthier because of the improved medical care.

My Carbon Footprint.

A carbon footprint is one of the most effects that causes by human on the earth. It is one way to measured people impact on the climate by their daily activities. The two major components of this problem are transportation and electricity. On my own life I spend about 2.66 %carbons every day, its look like no thing but imagine if the all worlds have the same rate what will happen?

In my daily life there are some problems that increase my footprint. One of these problems is that every day I eat lots of processed foods and meat which need a long time to cook and more energy. Another thing is the uses of the car for along time. I go to the college and return to home five days a week also my weekend journey all these moving causes air pollution. Playing game on the computer and Watching TV for along time consume a lot of energy. My house is a large house with many bedrooms and a lawn, that's equal lot of energy. What is the solution?

Although there are several problems for my footprint, there are also some solutions. One of these solution is turn off lights, appliances, and electronics after using. Another thing is travel on foot, by bicycle, or on public transportation instead of using car is decrease the number of vehicle that mean less of pollution. In addition eat fewer foods, less meat, more organically grown and more locally grown food also a solution. Yet another thing is the recycle materials take less energy instead of raw materials. That’s all shrinking my footprints to safety and natural life.

As you can see, carbon footprint is an important issue which must take it seriously in our life. The increase and decrease in these problems is a human responsibility that means we must look forward to future less of carbon.

Why the movie was called "An Inconvenient Truth"

The real cause of Global warming and pollution is a human. Inconvenience truth is a name came from the people ignoring. The world didn't admit that they are the main reason of this problems and still careless for it.

What Abu Dhabi should do to make people aware of Global Warming

In UAE they don't know the effect of the global warming. Although it's a growing and development country but it must take this problem seriously. People in Abu Dhabi must learn from other mistake and understand the huge problems clearly to resistance it by:

- Run a campaign to make people aware the dangerous of this issue.

Organize T.V program and interview the government responsible.-

- Reach these problems to the people by newspaper and magazine.
