After measuring my carbon footprint in http://footprint.wwf.org.uk/ it showed that it’s 2.22.
Carbon footprint is the amount of greenhouses gases which we make every day, or in our life. I have the lowest rate between my friends in the class, and they all have the same rate with the average of 4.0. Everybody in this world has his own carbon footprint which he is responsible for. Even though the population is very small and we are a very small country, the UAE has the highest number in the carbon footprint per person.
I don’t know how to decrease my rate but I think that I have a good life style. I will describe each point about my carbon foot print:
Travel : I don’t travel a lot especially in this period because I have to study even in the summer. I think that traveling one every 2 years is a good thing and I don’t have to do anything about it. On the other hand I don’t use the bus because I have my car and it’s faster. Speaking about my car, I use my car 6 minutes every day because my house is near the college, and I stay in my house at the week end.
Home : my eating habit is very healthy compared to the others. I eat fish, and meat once every week because I am not a big fan of them. Egg and pasta types are my main food system, so I think that its normal.
