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: reduse amount of produce CO2 in planet.
2- Zero Waste: all types of waste can be recacling.
3- Sustainable transport: we have to decrease our travel by cars.
4- Local and Sustainable Materials: reduse the import the materials from outside.

9- Equity and Fair-trade: all people whose lives inside the city must be in same level.
10- Health and Happiness:any one need to be healthy and happiness by taking time to relax with his family.

1- Build a world-wide network of One Planet Living Communities and other exemplary projects to demonstrate One Planet Living in action.
2- Establish One Planet Living Centres in each One Planet Living community as a focus for education.
3- Promote the imperative for One Planet Living and its guiding principles to catalyse change with governments, business and individuals.
