The total amount of greenhouse gases produced to directly and indirectly support human activities, usually expressed in equivalent tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) is called Carbon footprint.However anyone can calclate his Carbon Footprints, there are many diffrent webside to calclate it by ansering some categries question fast and easy.
CO2 is the chemical symbol for carbon dioxide so there are many ways to generate Co2 For example: When you drive your car to Dubai the engine burns fuel that gives a certain amount of CO2, depending on its fuel consumption and the driving distance. When you heat your house with oil, electricity, gas or coal this all can generate CO2. Also when you go for shopping to buy products such as food, it also emitted some quantities of CO2.
I measure my carbon foot print at some sites in the internet and almost everyone can calculate their carbon footprint so I calculated my carbon footprint it was 6.38average. Than I compared it to my partner's footprint First Ahmed got 7,9 earths and he was the nearest one to me, Ali got almost 3.3 earths and at last Faisel got 4.57 earths. So Ahmed got the greatest footprint from all my partners. At the countries side, UAE got the highest footprint measurement in the world (Wikipedia).

These carbons footprint can reduce Individuals and they are first minimizing energy use in the home, second travelling by public transport, third using the car less, fourth flying less frequently, fifth buying energy efficient products, also by consuming goods that have used little energy in their production and transport, even minimizing waste by reducing amount of animal products,fule and electricity uses. Also recycling Energy .

Hi Ahmed,
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your posting this essay so quickly. You have until Thursday, April 30 to revise it.
Much of this sounds cut and pasted from another source. ANY amount of plagiarism will score ZERO, so please write from your own notes without looking at another source.
Please follow the instructions as we discussed in class. Note that the definition of "carbon footprint" should be in YOUR words, not taken from a website. Similarly, you should make a comparison bar chart to show your research findings, with a short paragraph of text to explain. In the conclusion, be sure to explain what you personally can do to reduce your carbon footprint.
Please see me if you have any questions.
