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?

Energy Conservation in Oakland
For my city, Oakland, the highest contributor to the average person's carbon footprint is the home aspect. In our town, we should prioritize green energy like solar panels, wind turbines, etc. With help from the legislature and our government, we have the opportunity to change the way energy is consumed. The City of Oakland website tells us that Oakland ranks 5th in the 2024 Clean Energy Scorecard by ACEEE. This is a start towards total clean energy, which Oakland is working to achieve by 2045. I think all this information should become mainstream, and people from all places should have access to clean power.
