Cool Cities

People want to use technology in a positive way to help our world from the pollution. So they start to use modern technology to build new green cities which called Cool Cities and these are cities that have made a commitment to stopping global warming. In this essay, I’m going to talk about the ways that will improve public health and will reduce the carbon emissions.
Using green roofs in cool cities are the main way to reduce carbon emissions by 60% and a
bsorb heat, so it will reduce global warming. Those cities will contain many parts of zones like business and public zone, residential zone, cultural and sport zone and resort zone. Other zones will contain homes, villas, hotels, restaurants, schools, hospitals, mosques, offices and police stations.
To conclude, build cool cities will help us to live in healthy environment, because it will reduce pollution. I think those cities will cost billions of money, but it will save our health in the future.

My opinion about the "an inconvenient truth video"


An inconvenient truth video which I saw it in the class with my teacher is very nice and Al Gore makes it interesting. So in this essay, I will give my opinion about an inconvenient truth video.
I think the video talked about the all reasons of the global warming which is a very important thing. It is crucial that people see it as an emergency and be ready to take an action. We must know the reasons and search for the solution. I believe we will find a lot of ways to help the environment and reduce the harmful impact of civilization on earth. The video show the rate of global warming increased dramatically with the time. Al Gore has explained the extent of the problem using virtual reality and high quality charts. Al Gore has alerted people to what might happen if this problem was not controlled, and how it might affect the lives of future generations. In my opinion, this movie is really worth watching and it should be available in educational centers like schools and colleges where people can get educated regarding global warming. I believe that people are willing to change their behaviors into more environmental friendly ones, the problem is that they do not know how much such behaviors are harming the environment, and they have not been offered other options that are less harmful.
I think its everyone’s responsibility to spread the knowledge regarding global warming. I do acknowledge Mr. Gore who used politics to serve the science and help serve the environment.

Summary about an Inconvenient Truth



An Inconvenient Truth is a documentary film about global warming, presented by former United States Vice President Al Gore. Al Gore is known for his environmentally friendly political agenda.
The main message of the movie is to educate the public about the severity of the climate crisis. Al Gore wanted the public to recognize the fact that global warming is a worldwide problem. Al Gore stated clearly that it is not a political issue; rather it’s a moral issue. He demonstrated the danger of global warming, as temperature increases leading to stronger storms, and rising sea level leading to places like Florida and Calcutta to be soaked in water!
This movie is a wakeup call for the whole world to face the problem of global warming which is a real challenge. It is our responsibility towards our children and future generation to protect the environment from the consequences of our actions.
To conclude, I think that the government shall certainly take a role in regulating emissions into our environment, the same way that they have put rules regulating speed limits and wearing seat belts to protect us, helping people understand and find ways to face this world crisis will, on the long run, save thousands and millions of lives.
