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
The city would be filled with public-accessible bikes. Transportation contributes significantly to pollution, so it is best to try to solve this issue. Electric cars would be less expensive than other types of vehicles. The greenhouse gas emissions associated with an electric vehicle are typically lower than those associated with a typical gasoline-powered vehicle over its lifetime. The presence of many trees and plants in the city would provide a fresh and lively atmosphere. This would increase the amount of oxygen and decrease the amount of storm water runoff, reducing erosion and pollution in the waterways and possibly reducing the effects of flooding.
I'm really happy to see how my small village is changing. We have placed dispositives for electric charging, since many people are changing their cars, is something new in the small reality where I live. Many houses have put solar panels on their roofs and more people now prefer clean energy.
