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?

Solar Panels

Tyrone Jaquavion

Solar panels are a wonderful invention that have the capability to reduce the carbon footprint of entire cities by more than thousands of pounds. It is a great source of energy that can reduce the amount of fossil fuels used to power a household. Implemented at large amount around the world it could help lower the carbon emissions even if it is by a small amount.

I agree to this, and I also think that solar panels are an amazing invention. I think that if we were able to implement solar panels in most of the world, it would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by a lot. The main problem with solar panels are most of the world can't see the good solar panels can do, and they're expensive to build, and many countries are struggling with their economy. However, I think that if we get some of the most influential countries to invest in solar panels, it would make a big difference in convincing other countries to follow their footsteps.

I also agree with this statement as well. although this would definitely cost a lot for cities to install, the long-term effects outweigh the cost. Firstly, this would greatly impact climate change and drastically slow down its effects. This would also benefit the city. Electrical power plants could be shut down and thus save the city money from maintaining and operating them. Citizens would also be happier, as there would be no more electrical taxes and energy is practically free. Lastly, this change can improve the air quality of cities. This will improve respiratory problems and get rid of plenty of pollutants and smog.
