How can we save our planet

There are so many things to do to reduce global warming as individual such as:


  1. replacing one regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent light bulb will save 150 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.
  2. Walk, cycling, carpool or talk mass transit more often, you will save one pound of carbon dioxide for every mile you don't drive.
  3. You can save 2400 pounds of carbon dioxide per year by recycling just half of your household waste.
  4. keeping your tires inflated properly can improve gas mileage by more than 3% and every gallon of gasoline saved keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
  5. It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Use less hot water by installing a low flow shower head and washing your clothes in cold or warm water.
  6. You can save 1200 pounds of carbon dioxide if you cut down your garbage by 10%.
  7. By moving your thermostat just 2 degrees in winter and up 2degrees in summer you could save about 2000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year with this simple adjustment.
  8. In every tree we plant it will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime.
  9. By turning off our electronic devices we will save thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide a year.


and also Listen to this song and it will be self explaining !!

What I have learned

From this exercise I have learned so many information about global warming and now i am aware enough to how to deal with this problem personally and i am also able to discuss with others about this issue. By using the blogger website i also learned how to create my own blog using web site facilities. Further more this exercise has enhanced my communication skills by using more new English words. In the area of information technology i will be able to present my work in a professional style.

Individual Action


A group of scientest from Australia has set a sight on UAE as a base for enviromantal poject. The project's theory is to save the planet from global warming by making the ocean bloom with microscopic plants that can absorb carbon dioxide.

UAE and Global Warming

As UAE is part of the world and a global warming has become a global concern. At the recent years UAE goverinmont is thinking about it seriously and many action has been taken in order to keep UAE envirnoment save and protected by inhance the puplic awarness about the envirnoment and let them know what global warming is

The effect of rising in temperature

When the temperature do rise due to the global warming many thing are expecting to be happen.One of the Major effect of rising temperature is the shortage of fresh water.By the year of 2020 400 million to 1.7 billion of people will not have enough water which can make a global concern about finding fresh water cross the world. Also warmer water can kill some sea wildlife such as tropical coral reefs because the sea water will absorb carbon dioxide from the atmospher. This will make the sea more acidic. Moreover due to the climate change the polar ice caps will melt and cause the sea water level go up to 3 feet which can take out many cities, small island and some shallow rivers from the map.

Transportation and global warming






As result of rapid growth of world population the need for transportations is increase. As most of modern transportations such as cars, plans, trains,…etc are running by fossil fuel and when the fossil fuel burns it produce a various of greenhouses gases that trap heat in the atmosphere and cause global warming. In some cases like in rush hours time cars and other vehicle produce much more carbon dioxide then any time raising the heat of the climate. Also modern transportations are Responsible for over 60% which is about one third of our nation’s production of carbon dioxide of the enhanced greenhouse effect, causing climate change.
