My Carbon Footprint


I measured my carbon footprint in http://footprint.wwf.org.uk/ and it was 3.30.

The carbon footprint is actually greenhouse gases which come from companies, hotels, factories, etc. My carbon footprint rate is close to my class aver

age which was 4.0. The United Arab Emirates have the highest rate of carbon footprint in the world per person.
There are many steps to reduce my carbon footprint.
Travel: I travel usually once a year when I go overseas. But inside the city I always travel by my own car. I never travel by bus or train. Honestly I hate buses because I think they are producing too much footprint. Personally, I go to Ras Al Khaimh every week and I think that’s why my footprint is high. I must reduce the number of trips I do every day to decrease my carbon footprint.
Home: My meals are usually based on rice and chicken. I eat sometimes meat and fish twice a week. I think my food is healthy because I hate fast food and I like vegetables. To be honest I don’t like sports but I try to keep my body fit and healthy as much as I can.
