TDIC Project

UAE is fast becoming a tourist spot. Visitors from all over the globe are flooding to this region. Tourism Development Investment Company (TDIC) has several projects to develop the region. Each of the projects has its own features and speciality. I would give the preference of one of these projects that I like most. There is one that is not so much favored.

Al Bateen Wharf Hotel is one of the best projects of TDIC. The fundamentally good thing about this project is that it is built on the west coast of Abu Dhabi city. Since the Hotel is facing the sea, it gives a presentable view. The shape and design of the building is very pleasant looking; the two blocks are connected together with three bridges. Lakes in front of the building add to the beauty of the view. There is enough are around to walk and roam around in the fresh air.

My least favorite place is the Qasr al Sarab. Its location is the main factor that makes it not so lovely hotel. It is in the far off place from Abu Dhabi. If a visitor takes all the pain to go this far there is nothing around it to entertain him. Its design and building is old fashioned and too classic. The accommodation available in this hotel is too less (only 150 rooms) that are few in comparison to other projects.

In time to come Abu Dhabi is planning to develop the city with many more innovative projects to brace itself with increasing number of tourists coming to this part of the region. These projects are full of variety and different designs to cater to various liking.

My Carbon Footprint

A Carbon Footprint is a measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide. I thought my lifestyle is healthy. I got the shock of my life when I got the result of my carbon footprint. It was whopping 3.63. It means I am living in a way that requires 3.63 times of the earth’s resources to be healthy in it.

My high carbon footprint is due to the fact that I use my car a lot. It causes lot of air pollution. Even for short distance, I travel by car. Secondly, my eating habit also contributes to high carbon footprint. I am non-vegetarian and eat mixed of red and white meat. Thirdly, consumption of electricity is another factor to increase carbon footprint.

Now I know how I can reduce my carbon footprint. I should try to walk short distances instead of driving. I will make sure to use vegetables more than meat. I stay indoor when I am free that makes electricity consumption too much. I should go outing and get some fresh air.

Carbon footprint is the mirror of healthy lifestyle. The less the value of carbon footprint the better is the lifestyle. We should try to analyze the lifestyle and analyze the factors of contributing the carbon footprint. We should try to reduce the value of carbon footprint.
