Abu Dhabi takes the lead in showing the world the true meaning of ‘going green’!
In the wake of global temprature rise, with scientists mulling over methods of combating the devastation caused by environmental changes, here’s Abu Dhabi leading by example by building the first-of-its-kind, $22 billion eco-friendly city. Growing population and space constriction had led to the destruction of green belts, and with deforestation came climate change, but Abu Dhabi is taking proactive steps to restore the damage as well as provide a safer refuge to its people.
Masdar, the green city, also called the Silicon Valley of renewable energy, is going to be designed such that it does not contribute an iota to pollution. Imagine living in a city where you don’t have to hear the roaring vehicle engines, but is blanketed instead by a fresh and peaceful aroma. Masdar will be planned such that conventional cars would have to be parked at the city gates and one would have to walk around, inhaling fresh air amidst lush greens. For those who don’t enjoy being on foot, Masdar would have podcars – driverless vehicles powered by solar energy and guided by magnetic sensors.This eco-friendly city would lead to a lifestyle shift, but one that promises to make it a healthier one. Alka Tomar, Assistant Director of CMS Vatavaran (an NGO for wildlife and environment protection) believes that this path-breaking concept will definitely contribute to creating a healthier environment. “Such a technological invention was always present in theory but Abu Dhabi is making it feasible and is showing the way to the world to protect the earth against global warming”, says Alka.
