Nowadays, people start realizing what the footprint is, and what effect could be done by the large amount of their footprint. In this essay, I will describe my research into carbon footprints and outline some possible solutions on how to reduce them.
Footprint is the carbon dioxide (CO2) and greenhouse gases that your activities produce, which could affect the climate. It is often measured in pounds or kilograms. I measured my footprint in http://footprint.wwf.org.uk/ and it was 6.38 which the highest in the class. The average figure for CRB was 3.778. I travel about twice a month, which increased my footprint.
In the UAE, the CO2 emitted per person is 32.83 tonnes per year. The government of the UAE took several actions to reduce the carbon dioxide. They try to use nuclear power to low the CO2 which made by electricity. They also support the new green buildings to make them more efficient in their use of recourses. The first zero carbon city in the world which will be build in Abu Dhabi by Masdar. These steps will reduce the greenhouse gases in the UAE.
However, individuals could be part of the solution. Here are some actions could help reducing the carbon dioxide. First, turn off your water heater, because it almost take 20 minutes to heat enough water so why do you keep it switched on 24 hours? Second, switch all the lights before you leave your home.
In conclusion, It is all about us. We have to decide whether we want to reduce the carbon dioxide or not. Actually, it saves our money and our health too.
