This Voice Thread talked about Biomass
what is Biomass ?
it is organic material made from plants and animals. Biomass contains stored energy from the sun.
This is basic idea about it

The Saadiyat Island
The Saadiyat Island which means Island of Happiness .it is a huge island, about 500 meters off the coast of Abu Dhabi.It costs US$ 27 billion. My partner, Ali and I did researches about TDIC project for Saadiyat Island. Moreover, you can see our PowerPoint about its features at link: http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/67661/Saadiyat-Island-ppt.html
We choose this project because it has many features for better lives. It carries many houses around 150,000 residents that linked to Abu Dhabi city .It has many places for entertainment and famous hotels. This island is very beautiful because it has a natural environment that protected mangrove forests.
The least interesting project was Desert Island. It is very hard to deal with those islands because it will cost a lot of money and time. The UAE is a very hot country which very difficult to deal with these islands .

Cool City
Now, it is the time for human to take action to stop global warming by looking for many solutions. Carbon emission level is higher than ever and the weather is so hot due to our daily activities.
There are many good adaptations that our government should take for this disaster and reduce the global warming. The first significant solution is that we should us solar energy which is good for us to generate power instead of electricity which generate from oil. The second good adaptation is that we can use metro instead of cars because cars produce a high amount of carbon emission. The final solution, we can generate power from wind because the UAE is a very windy country and that’s would help us to reduce the using of electricity and oil.
Turning to the bad adaptation. Many countries don’t use the air condition and have a fresh air but in our country we can’t do that because the weather is very hot and no one can live without air condition. After that, there are many renewable energy but we can’t offer them in one time because our country produce a high amount of oil that we depend of them for living. The final one is that we can’t force every one to ride buses instead of cars which are helping to raise the level of carbon emission.
In the end, we can change every thing in one time and we can’t force many people to do something because it may not suitable solution for their lives.

BioMass Energy
Biomass is one of the most common renewable energy resources which produced from the carbonaceous waste of our and natural activities. It is a result from many sources, such as wood, agricultural crops, unprocessed material from the forest, parts of household waste and timber.
It has many advantages; first significant advantage is that it can be used to generate electricity with the same tools or power plants that are now burning fossil fuels. Secondly, Biomass is an important source of energy and the most important fuel worldwide after coal, natural gas and oil. This power is being used for: Power generation, Cooking, cars and other mechanical application. In these days, biomass has been used less than before. In the developed countries like India, this energy is an important source for applications like combined heat and power generation.
In the end, biological material such as trees, grasses, agricultural crops or other can be used as a solid fuel that generates electric power, heat, chemicals, or fuels. Today, there are many resources to produce energy but wood is the main energy resource which is good for economy.

Critical thinking
Critical thinking needs a lot of concentration, we should always be aware about what’s going on around us. We must look for solution of new things happen to our daily live and search the advantages if they are good and specific their disadvantages by giving an opinion or proofing. Critical thinking is best way to understand things as the ability of thinkers to take the responsibility of their own thinking. So they must build up their standards for analyzing and assessing their own thinking and regularly use those principles to improve its quality. In our countries we have many critical thinkers like Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Ruler of Dubai (United Arab Emirates). A man who believe that if we work so hard we can get what’s mine and reach the top .
Abu Dhabi (Masdar)
The time has come for solar power, the United Arab Emirates will make a $350 million solar power plant in Abu Dhabi, which is the first city that will going to use this energy in the Arab’s world
The UAE want to use alternative energy which is solar power that generates about 500 megawatt plant, likely to begin in 2009. there are many reasons why This energy is good for our environment , the first reasons is that it has no carbon emission because it converts solar energy directly into electricity, on the other hand, our country want to reduces the using of hydrocarbon power which is causing the global warming. Second advantage is that it generates lots of electricity from sunlight and it will be really cheap in the long-long term. Other significant advantage is that creates no pollution, this helping to reduce the damage of dependency on fossil fuel power stations. The final positive Point is that it creates many jobs which reducing unemployment people
In the end, our country moves to the next level of cleaning the environment and reducing the global warming by building alternative power for pure future.

Carbon Footprint
A Carbon footprint is our personal behaviour which effects global warming through the amount of our activities and CO2 production which is a very serious gas that damaging our environment.
There are many causes that lead us to this serious problem. First, we should take a look to our houses. Recent studies show that boiler and air conditioner are the most major causes of carbon emissions from our houses. Lighting is the next one, which produce a high carbon emission. Also papers and food also produce a certain amount of CO2.The final problem is that people don’t care about their planet because most of them don’t believe the truth about carbon footprint or global warming.
Turning to the solutions, we can use our effort to reduce this serious issue. At home, we should reduce the use of air conditioner that can help to reduce the CO2 emissions and bills. Also, televisions and other device should be turned off when we are not using them. Then, we should recycle our papers and other wasting goods to its recycling center.The final solution is that we have to travel by bus or train instead of cars or airplane because they emitted a great amount of CO2.
In the end, I have learned that carbon footprint is a very powerful shock of our results behaviour on global warming. We should work together hand by hand to stop this problem and make our planet more suitable for living for the next generation.
