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?

When creating my city I would first off require that if you are planning to go somewhere within the span of 1 mile, you have to ride a bike or use some other form of transportation that doesn't produce C02. I would also require that kids be taught how and what to recycle which is similar to what a city in Brazil did and now they are the greenest city in the world. Next I think that carpooling is a great way to reduce C02 emissions as well as other public forms of transportation, but only if you have to. Stores would sell locally grown and organic food without and plastic packaging and would hand you your groceries in a mesh bag. Bikes would be put around the city as well (much like our own) and lastly garbage cans would be distinctly displayed with what and what cannot be put inside of it.
