CoolCities 2 (TDIC)

Liwa is one of the ignored tourism places in Abu Dhabi. TDIC or Tourism Development and Investment Company rediscovered that place and planed to build the Antara Resort and Spa Qasr Al Sarab. Qaser Al Sarab means the palace of mirage. This five star hotel will be built about seven kilometers from the main Hamim highway. This is located in the middle of the desert.

Since, TDIC is a commercial company. It will concentrate about its profit no matter what happened. This project has no energy save plan and there is a lot to be done to meet the environmental roles. I support that idea because it will increase the tourism but in the mean time it will increase the pollution and will consume energy too. This is being produced from unenviromental energy production.

I think it will be better if the project built in green way. This will keep the environment and tourism in its side.

Cool Cities

The industrial revolution was one of the main points that changed planet earth since then. It was positively effected our lifestyle. However, at the mean time, it increased the amount of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) that the people were used to emit. Moreover, it sharply increased the consumption of the plant resources. Which means we are consuming more than what we need. Therefore, we need to find another planet to get more resources, if we kept consuming at that rate. Which is 'hmm um not going to say impossible but' very tough for us. That’s why we should consider reducing our consumption and our green gases emission to our beloved planet. If we are doing that in our city, then it will be called a cool city. A Cool City means a city with industry revolution and recycling but with out any pollution to our green planet.

The carbon footpring

The carbon footprint is a "measure of the impact that human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide". The carbon footprint could be calculated in most of website that concerned in environment such as http://footpringt.wwf.org.uk or http://www.myfootpring.org. You will go through multiple choice questions that ask you about your activities and your usual food and how your house got the electricity and estimate your carbon footprint. It also shows you the most three category that produces carbon. Moreover, it gives you some advises about how you can reduce your emission.
The three ways I contribute most to greenhouse gases are my eating habit and the way I live. Therefore I should maintain my eat habit and my lifestyle.
