My partner Sanad and I researched Emirates pearl. You can see our Power Point about its best features embedded below and it has a lot of pictures and voices. Also there is a video about that emirate pearl that you can see below.

The project I liked the most was Eastern Mangrove because the location which is in Cornish and also the accommodation, it has 52 luxury with 3 bed apartments with 92 marina apartments. Then I liked the Cultural Saadiyat Island which has Arts centre, Marina Museum and Sheikh Zayed national museum.

The least interesting project was Qasr ALSarab since its in the desert and the storm may destroy it any time. Also children’s playground which maybe children get sick because of the sand and luxury health spa it should be little not many because city needs it more than those who are in the desert. Also the Abu Dhabi creek business Resort it has a bad leisure beauty par lour which will corrupt some peoples minds and the business or meeting facilities which has a small space the entrance view of the hotel is not good.

There are too many technologies. Does it affect our future? And will it change the global warming and temperature? I think the more we have technology the more we have problems going to happen

Cool City Comments

Good adaptations

Indeed by having a rich greenery and water surrounding enhances the city. The city benefits from such greenery because it makes the air fresh from littering and pollution. Another good maybe favorable factor is the Jatropha forest because too much shifting of the sand causes smog and dust in the air which causes co2 accumulation. But the Jatropha forest creates oil and prevents sand shifting. Another good and helpful consideration is the root top membrane which filters and softens through light. This makes heat efficient and allows us to get the essential amount of heat we need.


Bad adaptations

It might be a bad benefit for some people in the residential zone being arranged to walk by foot. It could be close and good for global warming, but a lot of people prefer traveling once in a while by car. Maybe another bad effect is the canal, if you are traveling by the way of the wind; you are not gong to where you want as fast. It might also be unwise to use solar powered farms, because plants actually need the fresh sunlight to be strong and prosperous.

My Carbon Footprint: Problems & Solutions

A carbon footprint is a measurements or calculations of any person who impacts the earth and it’s created to help people to reduce their impact or consuming products or making green house glasses. My score was 1.88 on http://footprint.wwf.uk. And 9.48 in http://www.myfootprint.org. Many people think I should decrease my foot print.


All people can help cut down on cost, pollution and waste around us. I hope to try to help out; I consume a lot of extra unhealthy food products which I defiantly could cut down on. Second of all I leave my house to be over crowded with extra furniture and supplies just lying around all over. Third, I consume and miss use a lot of electricity, which I realize I could defiantly cut down on.


When it comes to foods, I have decided to stop eating so many fatty and carbohydrates foods. Instead of eating so much meat and potato foods products and eating outside foods, I will start eating fruits and vegetables and making my life and body healthier. Second, I will get rid of old furniture and boxes just lying around. I will make sure every room is not over crowded with junk items and papers. I will try to use the fluorescent light bulbs to help save energy. Third of all I will try very hard in many areas to cut down on electricity. I will not leave my laptop charging all night long or download all night long. If I am not watching T.V. I will make sure the electricity is turned off. Even during the hot weather I should try my best to use conditioners only when needed. If I am in a room and it’s not a necessity I will be wise and close the air conditioner.


In conclusion, people should not be wasteful. They should pick up alter them selves and close things when not being used. Everyone can help make life healthier and make the world be safer from global warming.

An Inconvenient Truth: Evaluation

In the movie inconvenient truth I really do emphasize on Albert Gores conversation on global warming. I feel he gave a great speech and demonstration. He started talking about global warming as a young man and never stopped pursuing the ideals. That must have taken a lot of courage and strength on his behalf, knowing that scientists and even governments were saying it was theory but not fact. The idea he pointed out that scientist jobs or not to go into big details. I already felt just by seeing his demonstration that the earth is changing and that people shouldn’t ignore global warming. Everyone should do as Gore suggested securing our future and our future generation. It’s wonderful how he shows the pictures and graphs, going from city to city and country to country to communicate things clearly. He is absolutely right by saying we have a choice in our economy and environment. Actually we do need to take a look around us and see what is going on. We also need to help him as much as we can to send all people in the world a message about global warming, however, in the other hand there many negative things that I saw from this movie. First negative thing he mentioned he was the former vice president of USA and maybe he want to be president again. Second negative thing that he makes jokes a lot an people will think that global warming was all for a joke.

An Inconvenient Truth: Summary

In the movie inconvenient truth featuring Al Gore he was former vice president of the USA and he is trying his best to make that global warming is a very important issue. Our land has always been peaceful and undisturbed, but things are altering very fast and taking different forms.

People have assumed that the environment around us will just stay the same. He is trying to demonstrate that our ecological systems composition is changing rapidly. We need to help make our children’s future better. The CO2 concentration traps heat and makes it hotter. He describes how as the ocean gets warmer then there are more storms and hurricanes, tornadoes and typhoons. People are ignoring this when they should start taking responsible and steps like reducing the machines that make smokes and start making more trees. The glaciers are splitting; many people get their water from the rivers and springs from the glaciers. We are facing many consequences, like global warming causing precipitation. He explains that evaporation sucks up moisture, drying up lakes. Albert Gore wants people to realize we are really increasing the climate crisis. He talked about his family how his son had a car accident and his sister died because she had a disease called cancer however this affected his life and encouraged him to care about global warming.

In conclusion he said he will try his best to accomplish his mission to inform people of what crisis that we will going to have in the future.

voice thread about critical thinking

critical thinking

Critical thinkers want to know everything about a subject. They feel it must be 100% right, no guessing. Critical thinking takes a lot of serious and careful consideration. There is a new thing classification the levels of thinking which is blooms taxonomy and it classifies to 6 levels which are Evaluation, Synthesis, Analysis, Application, Comprehension and Knowledge. It demands you to think of all the possible outcomes. You must be able to observe and analyze carefully you must be receptive to change, if necessary .people who think critical can listen to others and wait till they get all the real and actual facts collected and considered. You should be able to tell if information is wrong or uncorrected to the problem. Nowadays many jobs require critical thinking. You can think critically if you adapt to certain habits and behaviors you can learn to think critically
