Sultan Al Jaber announced yesterday to launch the project of Masdar City in Abu Dhabi with a budget of US$22 Billion.
This cool city will be provided with suitable transportation that doesn’t affect the environment, and the city will be able to provide more than 70,000 jobs.
Masdar city will decrease almost 75% of power usage and also reducing the number of the water to 8000 m3 every day.
Landfills have no place in Masdar City, also there will be a science and technology institute that will be open hopefully in 2009, this institute is the first step among other seven ones.
This city will be completed in 2016, also Abu Dhabi invested 15$ billion in the technologies that will be used in Masdar City.

Cool City on its way !
Nowadays we are so in need for the cool cities, because the carbon dioxide is increasing rapidly. Buildings and transportation total 90% of carbon emissions.
SDCJ is aiming to build up a cool city that will save the environment from CO2, and it contains the following zones; Public/Business zone, Residential zone, Resort zone, Cultural/Sport zone and other zones.
This city is planning to reduce the carbon dioxide at least around 50%. If this city succeeded it would reduce almost around 60%. In order to decrease the carbon dioxide, the city is planning to measure the traffic by different transportation such as; Monorail stations, water transportation, light rail transportation, pedestrian decks and hybrid car parking zones. The eco-tower buildings will use natural energy.
In my opinion, I believe in the success of this cool city, it will help the earth from Carbon emissions if we have more than one city.

An Inconvenient Truth
Hello !
This is a summary about the movie I watched lately.
Let's see what is it about ... here you go..
The Summary :
Al Gore, the ex-vice president of the produced the movie “an inconvenient truth” in order to vanish one of the most dangerous situations that happen in the world, which is “Global Warming”.
In the movie, Al Gore mentioned about the climate change and what is the affect on the nature, he showed one example was a river as a beautiful landscape and how it changed by the time because of the climate change.
In the global warming case, melting ice on the two poles will cause flooding for the continents and many animals will be in danger.
Al Gore, mentioned that the human is the reason of these problems, for example, when the man uses the car it will produce the gas CO2 which is one of the main reasons of Global Warming that my cause problems to the people near by the rivers or lakes. As a conclusion, Al Gore stated that as long these are the problems as there are solutions for those problems.

Critical Thinking
Hello again,
This is a summary about a presentation I saw, it talked about Critical thinking, let's know more about this topic.
The Summary:
Critical thinking is the way that people think and how they think; it starts when you want to know more about a something how it happens and why. Critical thinking needs a high of procedures, understanding and creating possible outcomes. To think you will test your beliefs and opinions, also, if you are willing to be a critical thinker you should have a clear ear and realize what others are saying so you can judge fairly, evidences will help you to support your beliefs and statements.
Critical thinkers compress information, build other explanations, look for different point of views and ask hard questions. Critical thinkers create various ways to know about a topic.
As a critical thinker, you should think wisely and widely, thinking differently and without limits. Thinking by a higher level contains estimating, understanding, developing thoughts, critiquing, etc.
Bloom’s taxonomy shows the steps of development from simple to complex and every level is based on the previous level. Critical thinking is important because it causes reading, writing, listening and speaking. Also it helps in many social situations such as governments and schools.
Critical thinkers could be students, parents, doctors and lawyers, basically everybody!

Carbon Footprints
Hello Readers ...
Here you go a summary about Carbon footprint, I read an article discussing this topic, so i did a summary about the topic
here you go the summary.
A carbon footprint stands for the overall of the carbon dioxide in the world, now as we produce, each product has a carbon footprint, and basically carbon footprint is measured by emissions and by the remains power. To calculate the number of carbon footprints we have many ways to do that, one of the ways we can use is by counting the capita carbon footprints and also by counting the countries.
Carbon is not the only factor that effects in carbon footprint, well there are other factors that affect such as methane or ozone. In order to reduce the carbon footprint we have to understand and know what is carbon footprint so we can control it and help the environment.
There are many ways to do that, we can find solutions and information about carbon footprints that will help to reduce it.
