Introduction
“Save the world”. How many times have you heard this term, but what do us have to save it from, and how do we save it? Who should save it? What is the role of consumers is saving or destroying this world? How did most people turn into consumers? Are you one of those people who just consumes or are you trying to be someone better? Are you one of those people who don't care about anything except to have the latest version of everything regardless of its price, danger to your health or even its benefits? Are the one who only think of money nothing else? Or you are the one who doesn’t care about money because you have a lot so you throw away what you have in order to buy a new product? Did you imagine that what you throw took such a huge amount of effort and energy.
Extraction
The first steps of the material process starts with extracting natural resources. These are exploited and so the process is trashing the planet. This involves cutting down trees, and taking the other natural resources. We are using water up and killing species of animals. Here we are up to limit of available resources. We are using too much though the consumer cycle of responding to marketers advertising and buying and throwing away.
Production
The second part of this process is called production. Production is manufacturing goods. if we mix of energy and toxic chemicals it will make toxic contaminated products, such as plastics which is very dangerous on our environment.
There are a lot of chemicals in use today without have even been tested for the effects on human health. which means that when they interact with other chemicals we’re using every day , we are providing toxics into our environment .Which means that we are putting toxin in the goods that we bring into our homes, schools and bodies. This is just in order to sell products in the market and benefit from profits.
Distribution
The third step in the process is distribution. Distribution means “selling all this toxic as quickly as we can.” The aim here is to keeping the prices down, what make people have the desire to buy even they don’t want this product? How do they keep the prices down? How can I buy anything at 10 Dhs and in fact its components equals more than 100 Dhs. May be they don’t pay the store workers very much and ignore health insurance every time they can, or use cheap materials even it is harmful for human and environment. This is the explanation of the poor labours in countries such as china or Korea.
Consumption
The fourth part of this process is Consumerism in the U.A.E. The U.A.E is an affluent country which consumes goods from all over the world. The main thing of consumption is households where people use products and buy more and more products. Consumers are important for factories and stores. This means that they do their best to keep people baying their products. People always change their products when sometimes they don’t need to. They might change their way of fashion. For example, people who use old products would be considered people who don’t like new products. Advertisement and media helps changes people's minds about products. There are many tricks to make people to buy and buy more.
Disposal
Disposal The last step in the process .then in the end, what happens to all the goods we buy ? The answer is iIt all goes out to the garbage collectors. This results in new problems of how to get rid of this garbage. All of this garbage is putting in a big hole in the ground, or, first it’s burned in an incinerator and then ptting in a landfill. Either way, both processes pollute the air, water and, change the climate. So we have, to search for other ways in order to reuse and recycle this waste.(UNFPA, n.d.)
The government of the U.A.E is doing its best in order to overcome these problems, by working on re-use and recycling it this garbage also it is doing its best to inform the public and raise awareness of healthy habits and using the products everywhere in the U.A.E. Also we have our role to decrease this problem as we live in this country.
Conclusion From this cycle it is possible to see how consumers are using up the plants resources. We need production to keep capitalism as an economic system in use but at the same time we need to understand the finite capacity of our resources and the pollution that results from it.

Hybrid cars
Introduction
Hybrid cars are in the news these days because of fuel economy. They are thought to be good for ourselves and our environment, but what are the benefitsand obstacles or disadvantages of using them? This is an interesting area and is part of the modern technological revolution. Hybrid cars use rechargeable energy which is stored in a storage system fixed inside the car. This theory lowers the pollution that the car gives to the environment and lowers its carbon foot-print. This engine provides less power but consumes less fuel. Furthermore, what makes it fully environmental is the technology that uses braking friction to generate clean electrical energy.
Early History
Some of the earliest models are thought to date to the 17th century, but the first electric car was produced in Scotland by Anderson. In 1886 some taxis were used in England powered by this method .For example, In America there were electric cars built and used by the end of the 19th century. Steam was also popular as was gas and this made batteries less necessary. However, the petrol industry did not greet this development with enthusiasm and the development has seen many starts and stops in its history. Patents continued to be developed, however all over the world as cars became more sought after as a means of transportation.
Development
The early stages saw hybrid vehicles engines designed with fewer emissions and better mileage to be more fuel efficient. These vehicles were equipped with unique rubber tires which have a low friction rate and have less wheel drag. In addition, those cars may not have that much glamour in them but they are the best choice to save our plant .cost wise, they might be expensive in price but the advantages that they serve are much greater. keeping in mind that hybrid cars use the braking system to generate electrical power which is stored in its batteries and used when needed .However hybrid and electric cars take more energy to produce, so they have advantages and disadvantages.
Modern Developments
Today the main part in hybrid power cars is the battery and is a form of rare earth metal.Therefore, cars produced in Japan are especially dependent on this commodity. The Toyota Prius and Honda Civic are now on the market and are popular and are producing more models. They are now seen as commercial and even difficult to obtain. Before they were slow and did not go very far before needing to refuel by 2015, it is thought that the market for these kinds of vehicles will be around 2.5 million, according to Energy News Weekly. This is because more people want to be considered as environmentally friendly and responsible in terms of energy consumption. This means that there is a price deferential often to be built in to the car’s production and marketing which is then passed on to the customer. All in all, the positioning of these cars on the market is very key to sales and future development into the mainstream. So, there is a lot of interest in the latest models on offer and competition from the industry. However, China hold the key in terms of regulation of price through the sales of rare earths.
Conclusion
The term Hybrid Vehicle refers to a wide range of vehicle engines such as electrical petroleum and ethanol. This means that like any other industry, there will be state-of-the-art changes in these types of vehicle every year. So, it will become more mainstream and the higher the people all around the world know about global worming and its effects on the plant the higher the demand on those types of cars will be.
