If everyone lived like an average European we would need three planets.
If everyone lived like an average Emirati we would need eleven planets.
Our global footprint grew by 150% between 1961 and 2003. It is now 25% above the planet's biological capacity to support life on earth.
The WWF has developed an initiative called One Planet Living. It has ten guiding principles.
Masdar is going to be developed using these principles.
Explain the ten guiding principles using your own words.
1- Zero Carbon: create things which are not produce CO2.
2- Zero Waste: all types of waste can be reusable.
3- Sustainable transport: Changing all kind of cars to hybrid vehicles, but the plane we have to decrease our traveling by it.
4- Local and Sustainable Materials: less import the materials from outside.
5- Local and Sustainable Food: trying to get their food from their land without importing from others countries, especially those far away from us.
6- Sustainable water: The freshwater supply must be easy to find and enough for the city.
7- Natural Habitats and Wildlife: Trying to protect the environment and preserve the wildlife, will help to overcome the environmental change and maintain the environmental resources
8- Culture and Heritage: Anyone who isn’t saves his cultures and history of his people, land and countries; he will not have a clear future.
9- Equity and Fair-trade: all people whose lives inside the city must be in same level or they have to live into two levels, one for riches people and the other is for medium levels people.
10- Health and Happiness: Of course any one need to be healthy and happiness by taking time to relax and having enough time with his family.
