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?

Reuse & Repourpose
Hey Cool kidz,
What are some things that you think we ( humans ) can reuse and repourpose in order to help preserve the environment ?
The four Rs, follow them. They have importance.
Composting and Recycling should be done even more often that throwing things in the Garbage bin.
I think that we could make sure that more people take the subway
I believe that gas should be more expensive to truly show the importance of how much CO2 is produced by that resource. Even on the CO2 calculator, gas CO2 emissions are in the high 30,000's, while all the other categories all have numbers below 10,000.
At least my recordings are.
There are endless options when it comes to reusing products. Plastic grocery bags can be used for trash rather than buying more plastic bags to use for trash cans. Cans can be used for flower pots. Expired or unfinished food can be used to create fertilizers through composting. Old palettes can be used to create a variety of things from gardens to couches. Newspapers or other unwanted paper can be used as gift wrapping paper instead of buying brand new paper for this purpose.
If we were ever to convert most of our energy production to wind, solar, and hydroelectric instead of coal
Just recycle whatever we are suppose to and try to keep it that way
There are a lot of glass and plastic bottles going into landfills that can be repurposed for many different crafts.
Always recycle and reuse things when you can. Do not waste things that still can be useful. If you feel like throwing away half eaten food, give it to someone who may need it.
You should always take the bus or carpool with someone to lower your carbon footprint. Lowering your carbon footprint will help the earth become a more clean and safe environment for living.
It's so easy to repurpose items and the outcome is truly incredible. I feel that the country doesn't understand the ways different items can be reused.
To lower your carbon footprint try composting and recycling. Also try to carpool more. Carpooling is fun if you do it with friends and it lowers your carbon footprint.
You guys are all right recycling, carpooling , and lowering your carbon footprint are all things to help us preserve the enviornment
