Wanted: Natural Residents
Part 1
Sweden’s western Harbor is becoming the world’s first natural resident tower. The tower is built to promote sustainable urban living. The developments program is based on three phases. Phase 1 is to build Bo01 which is ready. 1300 newly occupied apartments are now following a list of 35 green features to choose from. Phase 2 is to build Bo02 then Bo03.
Phase 2 will not be started until mistakes and new lessons are learnt from phase 1. Annika Kruuse is an area ecologist. Annika monitors the progress of Bo01 plant and animal residents. New species moved in since Phase 1 was ready. Nine different seabirds have been recorded breeding in Bo01.
The Phase 1 is planned to be sold to people who are interested in living a green lifestyle. People in their 30s and 40s are the most interested in living a green life. New generations of children are made aware of global warming and ways to help decrease it. Living such a life also helps impose green points in the normal life.
Part 2
Developing a new 0 emission city.
Sweden’s new Plans have recorded success.
There are 3 Phases for the project.
New education outcomes have been put in place.
Part 3
The article about natural residents was very interesting. Much of the stated information was helpful. Information gained from reading the article helps me in making the earth a better place. The natural residents plan could be used in my country to help fight global warming and reduce emissions.

An Inconvenient Truth
Al Gore
Global warming is an issue that isn’t simple to solve. The issue has many causes and effects. Although global warming is an inconvenient truth to know about a solution is to be initiated. The atmosphere of the earth is a very thick layer that protects and harms the earth. This is because the main purpose of the atmosphere is to protect the earth from the sun rays. The human misuse of earth caused the atmosphere to trap heart in earth rather than blocking it. The atmosphere is thickened by pollution therefore more of the outgoing infrared is trapped.
Carbon dioxide rates have increased dramatically in the last thousand years. The more carbon dioxide the more heat. Water in the earth is lacking. Glaciers of sweet water are melting in a very high rate in the sea. 40% of the people in the world rely on water coming from glaciers that are melting so quickly that in the near future the 40% will not find drinking water.
The hottest ten years ever recorded were the past ten years. 2005 was the hottest year. A heat wave hit most of the world killing hundreds. The heat wave caused drought in many parts of the world. Flooding also is an impact of global warming. Drought happens because of high temperatures in the atmosphere which cause the water in the soil to evaporate. Many other nature effects started to occur tornadoes, typhoons & hurricanes. If a solution isn’t put into consideration global warming might cause remapping of the world.

An Introduction To Global Warming
Global warming is an issue that came up so fast that time is running out and a solution is still not found. The causes of global warming are several. Global warming is caused by either natural causes or by man-made causes.
Natural causes are causes that are created by Mother Nature. Man-made causes are causes that a human being caused such as emitting co2 in the atmosphere.
In the past decades global warming wasn’t an issue, due to the lack of effects of global warming on the atmosphere. Nowadays the results of global warming have started to show and might cause a natural disaster if the right solution to solve the problem isn’t put in place. Global warming might cost countries and companies billions but that is the tax human beings must pay for polluting the world. Some rules and regulations have been put in place to decrease the carbon emissions in the atmosphere.
The pace at which we are fighting global warming is very slow in my point of view. China for example has clearly overtaken the United States as the world’s leading emitter of carbon dioxide. Countries have started competing on who emits the most carbon instead of doing the opposite.
