“We’ll save the planet only if we’re forced to”

Sadly I believe its true people these days are so lazy. With the jump in technology in the last century it looks like people are starting to believe that they are controlling every thing. For that it looks like they believe if a global warming crisis ever occurred they will have no problem dealing with it and I just believe that's stupid. I believe that people should know somehow that even with all the technology in the world we are so weak against the earths revenge the strongest prove for that is Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Katrina hit the united stats and yet with all the technology they have they could not stand against the hurricane. So how will we stand? not against one hurricane or two how will we stand against the earths payback?!!.

Why I would not like to live in Masdar city.

Will the answer of this is simple really so I will make it short and clear. Masdar city is one of many cities that will be build in AD so why should I choose to live in it over the other ones like asadeyat and al-lolo?. Al-lolo city will offer some nice malls, nice views, entertaining locations and also a touch of our tradition in all of these. For asadeyat it will be the city that when people enter it the first thing they will say is wow with its spectacular views and unbelievable building structures also it will contain some big and world wide known museums.

All of that takes us back to the main point again what does Masdar city offer to its buyers or renters that surpasses all what will asadeyat and al-lolo provide. I know its cool to have a green city with zero carbon footprint but really why would people wish to move around walking or by bicycle. I know that some readers may say its for the goal of one step farther to save the earth. That's fantastic but really a lot of studies concluded that people who live in places that they are uncomfortable with but still for some great goal will never fit in. The pleasure of accomplishing something is great but the pleasure of being home is greater(wow smooooooth). For that if Masdar city wishes to be a success (and I hope so) people who are supervising on it should try to improve the entertaining and the traditional sections in it.

My Carbon Footprint

First before I start speaking about my carbon footprint I will explain the meaning of it.A carbon footprint is a measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced. So from that its pretty clear the our actions affect the environment around us one way or another. For that I believe every one should held responsible for his actions.

About my footprint will a scored around 2.20 planets which means that I'm living as if I had 2.20 planets to live in. I was really surprised by the results I thought in the beginning of it that I will score around 1.5 I never imagined that I will go over the 2. For that I decided that I have to do something to lower my footprint score. But after a while (and really I'm speaking the truth here I really hate lies) I realized that I will do nothing I'm a hopeless guy in the green stuff. So I decided to be clear in it and say I sadly did nothing and I don't think I will do anything .
