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?

Single Stream Recycling
![US](https://depts.washington.edu/i2sea/images/flagpedia/US.png)
Recycling is not straightforward, most cities use a single stream recycling system. That means that all recyclables are put together and contamination is much more common. This means that materials have to be sorted and non-recyclables need to be removed, this costs companies a lot of money and makes it unprofitable for business. Single stream recycling also contaminates materials that would otherwise not be contaminated making it unusable .
