Today we are living in very fancy way, we are driving 4x4s and enjoying full air-conditioners on, we are traveling around the world, we are using too much energy, we are making too much of carbon dioxide. So we need solutions, we need to have cool cities and the earth must be a cool earth.
If we continue doing what we are doing now and continue living our fancy life, we will need another world. Cities are making too much carbon dioxide. The cities are making the world worse and worse by its factory, wasting energy, dumping waste, and taking the green life. In the UAE they are afraid that we are consuming the resources at an unsustainable rate, and we are living like we have 6.6 earths.
In Japan they have decreased the oil consumptions by 8% and the energy efficiency has increased 37% even though the GDP in the last 30 years has doubled. In the UAE they are building a new city, Masdar City. It is the first city that will be carbon free, it energy will be coming from solar system and from the wind, all the waste well be recycled, even the dumping water will be recycled and will go to the plants. In transportation they will be using bicycles and using the water. But they are saying that its life style will not fit everyone. There is also the SDCJ project, I think it will be very good for the UAE and for the Gulf, and it will decrease a big amount of the carbon in the cities.
I think that the ideas of Masdar City and the SDCJ project are very good, but I think if we started with the SDCJ project it will be much easier for the people to get used to it and then they can build the Masdar City with zero carbon.
