My carbon footprint

My carbon footprint

A carbon footprint known as definition of the human’s affects on the environment which measured terms of amount of green house gases produced. For everyone there is an impact as carbon footprint. I visited one web site and I did one quiz in it which measures my carbon footprint. The result was 3.30 which surprised me because it above the UK average. It separated as 33% for stuff, 25% for both of travel and home and 17% for food.

There several problems effect on the environment. First, I dislike using second-hand stuff so I usually buy every thing new so I have huge stuff. I could share my stuff with some who need it but I do not like to ask some to borrow stuff from anyone. Second, I use my own car to go to the college and other activities. Last I live in my room lonely.

Despite there are several problems, there are many important solutions to decrease our carbon footprint. Firstly, I could share with my brothers in much stuff at home like TV, computer and room. Secondly, I would to try buying some second-hand stuff and try to decrease the numbers plastics bags when I go shopping. Finally, try to take extra food from to camel farm instead of make it in the garbage.




All in all, everyone should think about decreasing his carbon footprint before anything else because our planet facing many problems so we must start to correct our bad habits.

Review of "An Inconvenient Truth" film

Review of "An Inconvenient Truth" film



After watched the "An Inconvenient Truth" film which was very interesting and learnt us many new information about global worming. There are many important points were showed such as causes, affects and some solutions. I think this film should publish and translate for many languages so that people know about this problem and work to solve it.

An Inconvenient Truth (film)

"An Inconvenient Truth"


An Inconvenient Truth is a film took about the global warming in the all over the world. It was showed as a presentation by Dr. Albert Aldore. He explained some affects which facing the atmosphere layers and the increasing the temperature with increasing the CO2.


First, the atmosphere layers make the sun heat can not reflect from the earth so the heat still in it because of that the temperature will increasing with time which make the ice melt in the two poles. Then, typhoons and tornados will be stronger than anytime else because of the increasing in the sea’s heat and some lake will be evaporate. The heat will content almost all countries in the all over the world, so all people should know about it and work to find solutions.


To conclude, Aldore gave several suggestions to facing the global worming such as nuclear power and solar energy.
