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: Electric Vehicles
One of the main producers of carbon in the atmosphere are vehicles like cars, tractors, motorcycles, and even buses. Vehicles like these release about 4.5 metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere per year. So, one thing that I would do to reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere would be to replace vehicles with electric vehicles since electric vehicles use electricity to run instead of gas or fuel. Charging stations would also need to be installed in more places for electric vehicles to recharge.
I agree
I agree with you, but there a lot of cars that use fuel and it is impossible to change every car in the world because there are some poor countries that haven't got enough electricity to load their car. There is olso a problem connected to planes that pollute a lot. Electric cars would surely improve the environmental issue, but in my opinion the road is still long.
I agree
I would most definitely agree that gas powered vehicles are some of the biggest fossil fuel contributors and electric vehicles are the future. I think we have already come a long way in terms of finding ways to make more electric vehicles but I also understand that the US has this financial ability and resources whereas other countries will suffer with this. I have a lot of hope for the future of electric vehicles. We have a long way to go but I think we are on the right track.
