Carbon Footprint

Many people in these days with the modern life style consumes a lot of energy due miss understanding of carbon foot print or its consequences. Carbon foot print it is a scale which measures the earth of energy consumed by humans. This scale means how many planets which need for each person. Now I am going to describe my research in this essay.


They are many definitions for describe meaning of carbon foot print. Let’s see at the right definition for it. A carbon foot print is measurement of life and climate however; green houses gases we produced with poor knowledge. According to website, it was stated that a carbon footprint is measure of impact of our activities have on the environment ,and in climate change due to the amount of green house gases produced in our life through burning fossil fuels for power ,transportation or heating .










I calculated my carbon footprint by using official’s website (WWF) and my average 4.39 planets. This website calculate food,travel,home and staff. I used the second website (UAE Heros) and my average was 3.50planet. I consume more energy in IT and cooling. I compared my result with my classmate. The first one was Abdulla Al Kindi his average was 10 planets .The second one was Mohammed Al Attas his Average was 2.68 planet .The third one was Hadi his average was 1.68 planet. We are consuming more cooling energy because of hot climate.

Inconlucion have to change my life style by at least turn off all devices whenever I go out of my room. Also, I should use the energy saver bulbs light and I recommend my entire friend to change their habit.
