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?

I believe if we want to grow our sustainability in our cities we will need, to encourage people to carpool more. I think carpooling is a super easy way to put in fewer greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In the website https://bcgreencare.ca/carpooling-has-big-impact, it says “On average, sharing a ride with one other person to work and back will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 3.72 kilograms (Source: Transport Canada). If you were to share a ride all year long, together you would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 893 kilograms.” In conclusion, I think carpooling is an easy and fun way to reduce the carbon you are putting in the atmosphere.
