jakarta

Jakarta is the capital city of Indonesia which is located in the east of Asia. Indonesia has a big population 212.1 million. Also it has many beautiful islands. Now I am going to write about the biggest problem facing Indonesian which is the cutting deem of trees.
The first crisis is deforestation. People exported timber to China in illegal way to manufacture pulp, paper and furniture. That can cause to increase the amount of CO2 emission so it will affect health on people. Also cutting trees causes in the natural disasters. For example, 85% of floods are caused by cutting trees. In addition, 70% of the Indonesian rainforest has already gone.

Concerning solution, a possible response to this issue is that the government should a play a strong role to avoid illegal the cutting of trees. Also, Indonesia government must ban export of tropical hardwood and any timber export company must have permission from the government. Another solution is that Indonesian has a wealth of natural resources including oil, gas, and metal so the government must use another source to reduce the problem because they are seriously under threat.
In summary, although several solutions have been mentioned, it is entirely a different situation to make these solutions reality. People live with hope that one day this problem will be solved

Introduction on Cool Cities

Introduction on Cool Cities

Countries want to industrialize. It has become the goal of most of the world's countries. It is no wonder. We identify countries in the world as developed or developing. Now a days the earth and environment is facing a big international crisis and its called a “global warming”. It is caused by human activities like industries, building, traveling and all these and more help to increase the temperature of the earth. So the countries are trying to build cool cities which will be eco-friendly cities. I think it is a good step to avoid this crisis and have a good life in the future.
Cool cities are described as pollution free.
People can make their surrounding a beautiful place to live. They can make it a very clean and beautiful city. I think people do not like to live in a city which is congested with traffic.
Cool cities are about creating hot jobs. It's about attracting and encouraging people – especially young people – to live, work and shop in the cool cities. By Building cool city young knowledge workers and other creative class members will come.
Following steps should be taken into consideration on how to build cool cities.
Plant a tree

If you have the means to plant a tree, start digging. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. They are an integral part of the natural atmospheric exchange cycle here on earth, but there are too few of them to fully counter the increases in carbon dioxide caused by automobile traffic, manufacturing and other human activities. A single tree will absorb approximately one ton of carbon dioxide during its lifetime.
Drive less and drive smart

Less driving means fewer emissions. Besides saving gasoline, walking and biking are great forms of exercise.
When you do drive, make sure your car is running efficiently. For example, keeping your tires properly inflated can improve your gas mileage by more than 3 percent. Every gallon of gas you save not only helps your budget; it also keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
Make use of public transport as it will help in reducing the pollution. Government should make public transport more accessible so that people can conveniently travel.

SUMMARY OF AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH FILM

SUMMARY OF AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH FILM

As for as our culture what we developed is not knowing more about inconvenience truth through the media and information technology. We have facilities to know more about incontinence. The films examine the meaning of global warming as for my knowledge and experience I have to suggest different way how we can overcome the inconvenience.

The suggestions are like factory proper carbon dioxide control system maintained factory, transportation and act. The effect of global warming also can cause natural phenomena like zoonami, SARS and more disease. All of these can be a major issue for inconvenience. Also mosquitoes and thirty other disease such as Avian flu and west Nile virus which as across the world. Melting permafrost is no cause by wind damage of alcohol consumption. This trees put there roots down in permafrost and the permafrost is thawing, so they just go every which way now.

On my observation I have to mention that not only the UAE government we should from a separate global community to study about global warming and researching different seniors of global implementation about global warming. As for as my knowledge this is no a small subject what can mention in one or two paragraph. As well as, global countries relationship can only form a good team to observe and study to our come the existing issues.

My dream is one day the global development and achieving a goal with our effort and hard work.

Which development do you think is the coolest ( most interesting )?

The most intersting building is Al Saadiyat .

Of course, Abu Dhabi government has a good vision to help the enviornment in the UAE by creating Al Saadiyat island. This will help a good condition to live in a pure place that mean free from all types of polution.

Next, it will attract people from all over the world to visit that it will to improve our economy.

Finally, these projects will reduce the effects of global warming

( TDIC ) 2

Tourism development and investment company (TDIC) 2

How green do you think these development will be ?

I am very sure, this project will realy make Abu Dhabi a cool city whereas the abu Dhabi govenment must implement in all of Abu Dhabi.

In addition, people have chnce to change their bad behavior rotien to reduce carbon footprint in the atmosphere. I hope to start a new life with health weather.

Johann Hari

Johann Hari: we will save the planet only if we are forced to.

This is a self shaming dilution; it is hard to give sense of the contrast today between magnitude of problem, and weediness of response so far. But the best way is offered by the Nobel Prize within scientist polecrutzen.

However, the climate settles down in the safe parameter and human could settle down. This period is called helicon and it meant that for the first time we could develop farming and cities.

I red and realize the point summaries Johann Hair option from the articles and understood the living style how it was 10000 years ago and now.

I’m fully agree with Johann Hari options.

one planet living

Define the ten guiding principles:


zero carbon

Minimize the co2 from surrounding us . We should have the best system which introduce by global planning board.

zero waste

To control the waste system which is a accumulating day by day. We have to find proper town planning system. Like having proper draining system to control the waste water and reduce the waste system.

Sustainable transport

The global transporting system as to be improves with a solution of using fossil fuels. In order to introduce system that we can use the transportation without fuel like nitrogen gas etc.

Local and sustainable food

· Industrial agriculture produce food that support the local and low impact food production and should that be healthy.

Local and sustainable materials

· The local market should have resources to use non local material for the construction. It will affect impact on the environmental and local economy



Sustainable water
Internal supplies of potable water are not enough to human need due to pollution. Implement to increase efficiently water use, re use and recycle water and sewage water extract ivy, pollution and restore water cycles.


natural habitats and wildlife

The countries have suffered from gradual lack of biodiversity as a result of human activity. For example, expansion of cities, industrial development and transportation that affect to the biological diversity.





Culture and heritage

· Local culture is being lost through the world. Celebrate and review culture and since of local original identity.

Equity and fair trade

· To prevent the equity and fair trading relationship to ensure the community.

Health and happiness

· To promote the health quality of life community member and others should promote healthy lifestyle and physical mental sprit cal.

Describe cool cities

We all know that when started industrial revolution. To overcome such kind of problem we should work for that and i want to mention some causes happened during time of industrial revolution.

In fact the world was crossing another way just took a pollution which help to destroy our planet by causing global warming.

Henceforth, all human activity produce co2 which is the main resources to make major changing in the weather and climate.

If we enable to solve this kind of problem our earth will be in danger zone and also we have to change percentage of carbon footprint.

As for as our concern we have to decrease the amount of co2 in the air to live within a capacity of single earth. To decrease the percentage of co2 we should organize full of greeneries something like cool city.

There are three types of transportation that should be friendly to our planet that are solar ships, light rail transit and hybrid cars. Moreover. It will reduce the amount of using electricity waste, water and energy.

The bottom line to reduce the amount of co2.

Carbon Footprint

Carbon Footprint

Definition

As for as measure of impact human activities have an environment in terms of carbon dioxide.In response to carbon footprints are carbon offsets , or the mitigation of carbon emissions through the development of alternative projects such as solar or wind energy or reforestation. . I have done the food print test and I got 2.25 planets. This mark means that my bad behavior needs two and a half planets.

What is Carbon Footprint?In the last couple of years the term "carbon footprint" has become one of the more fashionable terms used by environmental campaigners. It's the idea that people can judge their impact on the environment by measuring the amount of carbon dioxide their lifestyle gives off.If you fly frequently or drive to work every day - both activities burning a lot of fossil fuels - the chances are your carbon footprint will be much larger. Boiling all drinking water will also increase your "footprint" because of the extra energy consumptionAnd buying bottled water has an even bigger impact when the production of the plastic bottles and all those trips to the shops are taken into account.We all contribute to global warming every day. The carbon dioxide you produce by leaving the lights on adds up quickly. You may be surprised by how much Co2 you are emitting each year. We can calculate our personal impact and learn what action one can take to reduce or even eliminate your emissions of carbon dioxide through carbon calculatorYour carbon footprint is a representation of the effect you, or your organization, have on the climate in terms of the total amount of greenhouse gases you produce. Many of your actions generate carbon emissions, which contribute to accelerate global warming and climate change. By measuring your carbon footprint through tools as the Carbon Calculator, you can get a better sense of what your individual impact is and which parts of your lifestyle deserve the greatest attention. Armed with such information you can more readily take effective action to shrink your carbon footprint, thereby minimizing your personal impact on the climate.

We have eliminated the energy in our work premises and accommodation. On time immediate shutdown after use of the electronics equipment like computer, printer and other electronic accessories. Also less consumption of electrical power we have to use fluorescent light. This lights use less energy and we will prevent the emissions of carbon dioxide. Equipment or accessories should be use in our daily routine premises. We can use bicycles more often because they don’t burn a single fossil fuel carbon atom.

Today young people are living in a changing city with new hopes and challenge. The most important indication is that now days, Muslims and Christians are living in harmony without problems. Increase the number of tourists comes from nearly all the world to see Lebanon culture and sights. Living there is very expensive. One the other land, Lebanon one of the highest number of cars in the world. That led to traffic and air pollution problems.
