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?

conserving energy in oakland
In Oakland, the city where I live, I believe that the thing that contributed most to the average persons carbon footprint was from their home. This means that we should be working on more ways to conserve energy, and find news ways to power things that are more sustainable. These can be achieved by increased use of turbines, solar panels, and wind mills. As of January 2023, an article titled Port of Oakland Utility Green Power Portfolio Grows says that "The Port of Oakland Utility serving customers at the seaport and airport fulfills 66.9% of its power needs from carbon free energy sources, nearly double the state average." This is just the start towards a more clean and sustainable future for Oakland and then the rest of the world.
