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?

Sustainable City
To create a city which has a low greenhouse gas impact I think that it is necessary to have an intricate subway system which is based on renewable energy. This railway system would also have to be very fast so that it would encourage people to take the subway rather than drive cars. This city also should have a lot of trees so some of the Carbon Dioxide can be converted into Oxygen. Cars based on nonrenewable energy should be taxed highly in this city. Bike trails should be created throughout the city so that biking is encouraged. There should also be a lot of bike shops.
I agree with your ideas on reducing carbon in the atmosphere. I think that people should ride bikes, skateboards, and other things like these more often instead of cars.
