My Carbon Footprint

Did you ever thought about what is the definition of carbon footprints? In simple words, it is the measure of the global amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases emitted per person. I did the test of the individual footprint and my score was 3.33 which are bad.

There are many problems regarding this issue and the reason why my score was bad. First of all, it is in our culture that we eat meat, fish and chicken almost two times a day, which is a lot. This demand in meats will increase the pollution in the UAE because meat comes from other countries and pollution will come from transportation whether it from ships or planes. Another problem that I usually do which assists in pollution is that I don’t switch off the electricity after using it. For example, when I finish using my room I don’t switch off the lights and the bathrooms too. Finally and most important is smoking. I smoke a lot and this is definitely harmful for the environment and health.

There are many solutions that can stop or prevent global warming that I can do. One of the solutions is to reduce the amount of meat that we eat at home. Another solution is to save the electricity and not to keep it on when it is not in use. A final solution is to quit smoking. It will help a lot and I think that the government should do something to end this problem.

In conclusion, there are many problems that effect on the environment but we must work on its solutions to live in a better world and better atmosphere.
