Sustainable City

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?

How can humans prevent climate change in everyday life

KaMeBOD

As humans, we can protect our planet by doing little things every day that in the long run, will be benefitial to the prevention of climate change. One way of doing this is carpooling if you and others are going to the same destination like work. Carpooling leads to fewer cars on the road, and lower parking demand, which leads to less greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, half of the carbon emmisions in America come from petroleum vehicles. That's one of the main reasons for the recent spike in electric vehicle sales. But carpooling isn't the only thing we can do. We can bike to our destination, and if that isn't possible, most cities have a reliable public transportation system as well. There are many things that big corporations and the government can do to temporarily "solve" climate change, but it is up to us a society to do our part so we can keep are planet as long as possible.
