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?

New sources of energy
With the development of the science and technology, a lot of transportation like cars, planes, trains provide us a lot of convenience. However, it's undoubtedly that there will be more harmful substance released. The reason is that we always use the fossil fuel. In my opinion, it's the time for us to use more new energy like electricity to run the machine so that we will have a better environment to live.
There are already sources of energy that are far better for the environment, but we either have to find more affordable ones that appeal to big business or make the existing renewable resources more appealing.
Hi, Zhiheng D, this is an interesting perspective that you have. While I agree with your point about stopping the use of fossil fuels, I think that it is not as simple as just using electricity instead of fossil fuels because there are many reasons why we still use fossil fuels. They are more powerful and easier to obtain. Also relying on electricity is still relying on fossil fuels as our current electric system is largely powered by fossil fuels. I think we need to introduce more renewables across the board to solve our problems.
