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?

It would most likely be a city with nice and refreshing air and more people using different forms of transportation other than cars.The environment would be clean.
The most of people need to try to be someone who is going at school by bike or different forms of transportation like as you said, and maybe we could save our planet !
I agree but just having sustainable forms of transportation will not be enough. In an ideal world, we would also cut back on meat consumption since cows release methane which is more powerful than carbon dioxide. If every one switched to a vegetarian diet or even cut back on their meat consumption and ate more chicken instead that would also help in a big way. We would also have to switch to renewable energy sources as well since we released almost 38.2 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere last year alone, but changing the way you get to places every day is a start.
I agree with your point of view. We can't just change one thing and expect it to change all of environmental problems. We have to change multiple factors, such as the ones you have listed, including less meat consumption and alternative energy sources as well as recycling, more efficient appliances, and more efficient transportation methods. When more factors are taken into consideration and efforts are being made to change them, there will be more beneficial results.
I completely agree! I think that the first step to making a positive impact on the environment is awareness. It is important that all members of society are aware of the dangerous state our environment is in and are aware of the significant impacts they are making. From there, as communities, people must move forward with more sustainable ways of living, including transportation, plastic use, food, home appliances, and much more.
I agree that there needs to be a bigger effort to conserve energy that is currently being used. Meat consumption, particularly beef, is very harmful to the environment because cows release a very large amount of methane. Additionally, in cities with so much public transportation, even though it is better than using cars, it would be more helpful if they used clean air. Some cities are also good about making it easy to use public transportation but others make it so difficult that people have to drive individually. Lastly, in cities, where so many developments are taking place, it is necessary to produce less waste and clean air because so much excess waste can be produced by construction and more.
