Task 7


There were several reasons and the result is the same, many of them from the crimes of the human himself, all of these dangerous crimes against the earth because they cause global warming. And every one of us is responsible for these crimes. Now I am going to write about the problems and solutions of the global warming.


Let’s look at the problems; there are many problems in the global warming. First of all, green house gasses. For example, gasses emitted from burn the fossil fuels from vehicles, industries(Globalwarming.org). Another factor to consider is cutting tries. To clarify, they remove the trees and burning of forests for the purpose of housing and manufacturing. A farther relevant issue is agriculture. For example, they let the animals eats the agriculture and the amount of the agriculture in decreasing.
Now let’s turn to the solution for the global warming. The first solution is that the engine of the cars. For example, When you buy a car, look for the next least declension and economic in order to reduce the burning of fuel or hybrid engines. Another solution is that use clean power. For example, you can use the company's products that reduce energy consumption and efficient appliances.( Ten Personal Solutions to Global Warming." Global warming). Yet another point to consider is that recycling. For example, make a reuse the daily things and recycle the plastic and the paper.(Global warming Student Resource Center – Gold)


In conclusion, I think you should think well in order to save the planet from such crimes, which are increasing every day, and we can reduce these gases if it stood. Before I want to change my 4 cylinder to 8 cylinder car but now I will didn’t do it.

Diamonds are the most worth stones in the world. And they extract of diamonds and precious stones from the digging the earth that is why it’s expensive and scarcity. Now I will describe from where they take it and its location and more.

The first point to consider is the history. To clarify, Diamonds were first discovered in a town called Golconda in India and its 4000 years ago. Another fact to take into notice is that company’s location. To illustrate, most of the companies of diamonds are far away from the country they dig them from as the only country and it controls 2 out of 3 worlds almost diamonds trading, the company is from South Africa and it’s called De Beers. Yet another obvious notice worthy of mentioning is that the cost. For example, the cheapest diamonds from India, because 90% of the worlds rough diamonds are cut and polished there and they pay their labors only 40 Cents only for 1 gm. However on the other hand the Jewish society have companies like Antwerp associated, De Beers and one in Dubai sell them in imagination prices.
In conclusion, trading diamonds became much popular than before, people buy diamonds nowadays because they want to show their personality through them in a hip hop stars and celebrities. And the people from Africa suffer from this type of trade.

Lebanon is one of the most popular countries in the world; however it is small size country. This is because of many reasons like the history, people, cities and the position. I’ll talk in this report about the modern history and Lebanon now.


First of all, I will talk about the modern history of Lebanon. After the Lebanon gained independence from France in 1943, the power held by Muslims and Christians and they start fighting between them and the tensions reach their peak in 1975 because they killed a bus full of Palestinians by the members of radical Christian’s group. That’s why trust has been broken between the two groups. In 1982 the Israel army invaded the city with the aim of removing the Palestinians liberation organization. Finally, in 1989 was the peace deal reached and the human and economic cost of the conflict was between 150000 – 200000 people died, a quarter of the Lebanese left the country and Beirut economy paralyzed for 4 years.
Lebanon now have a good incoming from tourism and the Muslims and Christians mixing together and be brothers. Also the foreign armies left the country so, it’s become stable. But there are some problems in the country like high level of living, concentration of wealth and the unemployment.


Finally, having looked at Lebanon before and now and the changing in everything and in its daily live its different, and now it’s better than before.

English 174 (Task 6) Cool Cities

These days’ modern cities are developing in many methods in the UAE and they have planning on the cool cities. Although they are developing also they have many problems on these methods and it’s appeared now. The most problem thing in this planning is the global worming and its affects our earth. Cool cities are grate because it is reduce the amount of the carbon dioxide, temperature and green gases. Now I am going to write about the problems and solution about the cool cities.

First of all let’s look at the problems of the cool cities. The first important problem of the cool cities is that buildings. For example, the methods of constructions are wrong because it’s near from each other and it caused carbon dioxide (Younes). Another point to take into account is that transportation. For example, the cars bases, trains and planes are major problems.

Although there are many problems, also there are several suggested solutions of the cool cities. The first important solution is that the planners think and distribute the sea water in underground the city to cool the buildings (Hope).Another significant solution is that they make a new technology of transportations. For example: Solar Ships, monorail, hybrid car and LRT. Yet another solution is that they put a roof to filter the light and to reduce the heat that comes from the sun.

In conclusion, the plan of the cool cities are good although they have some problems, also they have many solution to help our planet. I think lovely to live in the cool cities because it is the perfect place to reduce the amount of the gasses and its enjoyable to safe our world.

Carbon Footprint Task 5

Blog projects-Carbon Footprints


There are various ways to measure our impact on the earth from an environmental stand point. One of these ways is by way of our carbon footprint. In the following report, I’ll define what a carbon foot print is, show how a carbon foot print is measured, show how I rank in comparison to other and finally make suggestions as to how we can reduce our carbon footprints.


Let’s now look at how best to define what a carbon footprint is. A carbon footprint is way of measuring our amount of the GHG (greenhouse gas) caused directly and indirectly way from the amount of an individual. An experts said that “footprint is measured of our activities have in the environment and in the climate change, it related to the amount of the greenhouses gases in our daily live” http://www.carbonfootprint.com/carbonfootprint.html(page1)


Now I will describe how I measured my footprint. First of all, I went to the

http://www.footprint.wwf.org.uk.html/, and I answered all the question likes, do you use car or bus? How many members in your home? And do you use AC. Also it goes specifically in the food, travel, home and stuff and I answered the entire question.







Lets now look at the ranks of the class and I will compare my rank with my classmate ranks. First of all, I got 3.1And I scored the second high person of the classmates, after that Salem Albloshi he got 12.4, next Abdullah Salem he got 2.7 and the last one which is Sultan saoud and he got 2.2 and he is has the lowest result of the footprint, I am the second one in ranking (footprint calculator).

Now I will turn to the other hand which is the recommendation. Many people don’t mind about how to reduce the amount of the green gases. First reason is that the transportation. For example, many families have cars more than the members and it’s the most reason of the green gases, and we must use the bus or bicycle. Another thing is the electricity. For example, many families don’t switch the light off when they are not in the home (reduce carbon footprint). Yet another reason is that water consumption. For example, you must to reduce the amount of the water consumption and make a drip irrigation to reduce the amount of the water consumption(Oliver). I hope they will make a recycle for the footprint(reduce footprint).

In brief, this report helped me to primarily become more aware of my impact on the environment and take into consideration ways that I can also benefit the environment be becoming a responsible.

An Inconvenient Truth arguments


TASK 4



Every movie has viewers and it’s depending on the movie and for any category. Every movie attracts some people and there are supporters and critics about the movie. Now I am going to write the positive ideas and the negative points about Al Gore movie “Inconvenient Truth” about the global warming.


There are people who find the movie good and positive points and those are interested in the movie and supporters about the idea about the movie. The first point is that, according to the writer, mixed in jokes and funs even his movie to make it easy going and interesting against (Scot and Eric1). Another point to consider is he didn’t tell us that he was a presidential candidate of the United State and he didn’t make it political movie. Yet another point to take into account that he has knowledgeable information about the fact is irrefutable.


Although there are some supporters, also there are some critics about the movie and those have their idea about the movie. The First point is that he talks and focus about himself and his life in the movie. Another point to take note is that he jokes and mocks against Bush and other republicans. Yet Another problem is that he didn’t know when the pictures shot, the writer asserts that maybe the pictures shot in the dead of winter and the other one in the summer (Scott and Eric 3).


In conclusion, I think that Al Gore have a good knowledge in science, also he is smart because he attracts the viewers by jokes and talks about himself more than the information. The movie is interested because it talks about some facts in our live.
