Here's your chance not just to be the mayor, but the original city planner as well! Imagine a medium sized city that would be developed with modern, low carbon transportation in mind, and other strategies to reduce the average citizens' carbon footprints.
What would that city look like? Would that make you more likely to want to live there?

According to https://www.sustainyourstyle.org/old-en … al-impacts, the fashion industry is the second biggest polluter globally. It accounts for 10% of total carbon emissions, due to chemicals being released during the process of growing the cotton, making the clothes, and transporting the clothes. Not to mention, the amount of clothing that gets thrown away. The fashion industry also needs an excessive amount of water to grow the cotton/materials as well as produce the actual clothing. Personally, I have made an effort to cut back on fast fashion. I mostly buy second hand, and sell/donate products that I don't want. However, fast fashion companies and big corporations still play a part in my life. Some options to cut back include: Shopping at thrift stores, estate sales, or buying reused items online. Donating your clothing items to second hand stores, or selling them online. You could also upcycle/create your own clothes! In the end, no one is perfect, but I think you should try your best to shop as sustainably as you can, and realize if you need it or want it.
