In my thoughts as I did my carbon footprint calculations, I had a few revelations. But to begin, I have to start from the beginning. I thought about my carbon footprint, and what i could do to decrease my black smudge on this planet. I could carpool more, be more efficient with my waste, use less water, all that stuff. But as I went on I thought about what other people have done to also lower there carbon footprint in cities. People have started to change rooftops into gardens, and implemented wildlife that had once not existed here for many years. I realized the more we integrate our old environment and nature back into these large cities, we do a number of things. We bring a more natural perspective into our lives, so it becomes more important to us and valuable. We create food where it is really needed, making cities slightly more renewable and stable. By bringing nature back into our cities, we can greatly decrease carbon footprints such as fewer trucks because food doesn';t need to be transported as much, the plants transform some of the CO2 coming off cars into O2  and store the carbon away. Then the byproducts of these plants inedible to man could be fed to fish for instance, creating aquaculture. There is so much we can do to change cities for the better and lower these zones' carbon footprints as a whole. We just need to act and do it.
