cool cities in the USA

cool cities in the USA

nine ways in which cities in the USA are reducing their carbon emissions:1. Iowa: First municipal wind turbine.

2. Klamath Falls: geothermal heating system keeps the sidewalks clear and dry.

3. Seattle: reduce its own pollution by 60% by constructing green buildings and operating alternative fuel vehicles.

4. Houston Texas: By 2010 all vehicles will become hybrid.

5. Salt Lake City: save 32000 a year on its energy cost by installing 861 light emitting diode (LED) traffic signals.

6. Washington DC: replace 414 of its pollution diesel buses with cleaner burning, compressed natural gas buses.

7. Colombia Missouri: working to produce 10% of their electricity with clean energy like wind and solar power by 2015.

8. Twin falls Idaho- School increased their efficiency of energy which caused to reduce the cost by $3.2 million.

9 ST. Paul has built a biomass fired pourer plant for heating building.

Abu Dhabi A Cool City

Introduction

The world is moving very fast and the capital of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi is trying to improve and develop quickly. However, that development will cost the city and the world some problems such as global warming which is really threat to the world. A carbon footprint is a way of measurement the amount of carbon dioxide and gases which is effect the planet. There are many projects which will be completed in a few years to challenge these problems like Masdar City which will build without carbon and garbage. We live on one planet so the countries have to sign Kyoto Protocol and work together to save the planet.

Carbon Footprint

Carbon Footprint

Have you ever heard about carbon footprint? A carbon footprint is one way to measure your effect on the earth. My carbon footprint 2.85 that’s mean I need nearly three planet to live.

The first one is I eat meat and fish a lot in week so that effect the climate when they transport meat to our country because we import meats from foreign countries. A further point is that I travel a lot by plane; most of my trips are neighbourhood countries but it also affects the atmosphere because of fuel which planes burn. A last important point is using air conditioning. Here in the Middle East we use AC a lot because of the weather and that effect the earth also.

Of course, every problem has solution. One answer is I will try to eat different kinds of food and the UAE try to increase agriculture. Another solution is that I will reduce my trips but I don’t think that will reduce carbon because the alternative is a vehicle which is also use fuel. A final answer is that people or companies built villas which keep the temperature to help people not use AC that much.

To conclude, carbon footprint is one of component which threads our planet. We have to reduce that to save our planet because we live on one planet and we should care about other people who live with us.

What should be done in Abu Dhabi to make people more aware of the solution?

Actually, in Abu Dhabi they start doing project help the city and world against global warming like Masdar City. I hope that the governments do some programs and safety instructions to make people more aware about the danger of global warming

Why is it called an inconvenient?

Why is it called an inconvenient?

Because some people don’t want to believe that the future of the earth is in danger so they don’t believe the global warming because that affects their working and their future. They try to confidence their self that will not happen.
