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?

Donation City
In my city I would promote the use of donating to other people. There are so many times that people have clothes, toys, and other things around the house that they just throw out. Instead of doing this, and companies making more products, which would produce more pollutants, we can just donate our used products to people in need. That way products like this stay in the system longer. We get more use out of our clothes and toys. In this way, I think it would help reduce people's carbon footprint. I would also say that our transportation also needs to improve. As a city, more public transportation should be available, and those with cars should carpool. Less emissions from automobiles would be produced, and this would greatly reduce everyone's carbon footprint.
