My carbon footprint



I measured my carbon footprint in http://footprint.wwf.org.uk and it was 4.36.


Carbon footprint is a way to understand and know what is the global warming. It is also a way to measure how our actions add to climate change with accurate results about what you do; also with it you can measure the amount of greenhouse gases that you emit. Such as, the amount of CO2 is emitted got from the things that we use it in our daily life. There are many ways to calculate our amount of carbon and one of them is that website. However, you can also calculate it by the use of fossil fuel for energy. A person’s carbon footprint can be calculated by the amount of energy that we use in our home and outside also. With these factors, anyone can reduce his greenhouse gas emissions by refraining from a few habits in his lifestyle. I think that my driving car hours make my rate higher, so I will work to reduce the hours of my driving.

Task Four

Al Gore is correct about his presentation, and it is running very well; also he has perfect acting. No one can say that he was really acting because he talks from his heart but he wants to convince us with the global warming issue that many people are not aware of it. The movie has made us very serious about the global warming and about our future if we don’t find a solution for it. Also the movie shows us many pictures of where he traveled to make us know that he is interested in the global warming and he wants to say that he really wants to go anywhere to see the situation with his own eyes. That’s what Brandon says about the movie.

That there are two points that he disagrees with; the first one is that Gore starting joking about Bush and the Republicans, and that not good for a scientific presentation; the presentation must be very serious without any joking. The second one is that he talks about his sister when he lost her from lung cancer and that was not relevant to the issue. Those were the points from Scott. At the end, I don’t have any bad comment about this movie and I think it’s fine if he makes some jokes so the audiences don’t get bored.

My opinion about the movie
The movie was very interesting for me and it includes much information that makes us aware of what the future will be for our earth if we don’t stop global warming.
