It is all known to us that human being have a major effect on our planet, in which individuals, organizations, and nations all included in this effectiveness. Especially in the last 150 years it was accelerated very sharply and nations start to reduce and rectify that effectiveness. However before going forward to rectify the environmental effect problem, the human impact should be calculated and ranked to create and make an effective strategy. Due to this a new definition was created called Carbon Footprint that can be defined as the measure of human impact has on the environment, and in particular climate change.
Due to the large amount of activities that human effect the environment with, the human activity was categorized in two parts, Primary and Secondary footprint. This will ease the calculation of carbon footprint and the sum of the two will be the total result of impact. To clarify, the Primary footprint measures directly the emission of gases from industrial areas (Electricity, refineries, car manufactures, and more) and transportation, where as the secondary will calculate the individual production of these emissions. This measurement is considered to be a rough calculation; however it can tell us our location in that effect on environment.
By focusing on the score I got from these web sites http://www.myfootprint.org and http://footprint.wwf.org.uk//. I have answered about my life activities which guide to know my carbon footprint. I got an average of sw2.68. My classmate Abood got 2.28 to be the 2nd, in the 3rd place Hadi Abdulla with score of 1.68, Sultan Al Shamsi is the 4th and he got 1.48. These high ranks in recorded in the UAE because lake of knowledge about the consequences of carbon on our global. That why our country has poor reputation. So, here are some tips to shrink the amount of carbon footprint. First of all, recycling. To clarify, recycling waste papers and plastics and also buying recycled items. Another factor to take in consider is planting trees. To illustrate, planting trees can reduce the amount of carbon because of plants need of carbon for life cycle. Another factor yet is reducing electrical usage. For instance, decreasing of the air conditioners usage can reduce carbon footprint. Final point to conceder is using energy efficient product. To clarify, buy energy-efficient appliances and light bulbs. As the website http://www.carbonfootprint.com/ stated that saving energy is the main point. For example, switch off all devices (reduce your carbon footprint3).
In conclusion, we can’t leave the concern of our environment only on our government or environmental organizations, so we should join hands with each other for better and healthy life for our children and future of the planet earth because we are all part of this world.
