What Can The UAE Do?

As Government:

It has to develop the transportation, like pay for new busses that don’t give lots of GHGs and put transportation for employees to go to work and find a new source of energy like solar energy so that we can reduce the dependence on fossil fuels and prevent using CFCs gases in the devices and use instead another cold gas that doesn’t affect the ozone. They can gather lots of scientists to work on this problem and find new methods to accelerate the planting in deserts.


As Individual UAE People

You can replace your normal bulb with a 19-watt.If your fridge is kind of old it will leak carbon and let’s face it, it won’t work well and you will lose you money because of fixing it lots of times and the food will not be safe, so just buy a new one that is much less energy-efficient. TVs, DVD players, computers and other entertainment are actually on, even when you press the off button because of clocks and standby mode, so just turn it off when not in use. If your house is old, but if you are having a new house you better put in your mind how to make it nice for you and for the environment. I’ll give an example. Buy air conditioners that use cold gases different than CFCs, to prevent the affect on ozone even if you have to pay extra. If you don’t want to do this then you can design your house to use less energy but with the best affect. You can do this by spreading air conditioners in the house but in lesser numbers, like instead of buying 16 you buy 8 and you have the same result this way you save money and the environment and when you buy them “the ones with CFCs I mean”. Don’t leave them unused because if you do leave them let’s say for two weeks the Chlorofluorocarbons CFCs, which are by the way volatile gases will start to exert pressure on the pipes that contains them because they are not oriented to else where any more, so they start to leak from breaches in the pipes which cause damage to the ozone layer and that itself rise the heat on the unprotected earth affected by the sun rays and this goes for all the devices that contains CFCs.
