In my city, there would be many factors that would emit less carbon. One of them is that only electric and hybrid cars would be sold. This would decrease CO2 emissions while people are driving. Transportation is a major emitter of CO2. So, another thing that will help that is many clean, comfortable city buses. Although buses are larger, they can carry many people which will ultimately decrease CO2 levels. All of the markets and stores would be encouraged to advertise locally grown meat that is grass-fed. Vegetarianism would also be encouraged for some meals to reduce emissions. Also, people would encourage others to be more carbon efficient. My city would be clean and big enough to earn money but small enough to keep emissions low.

I like these ideas and I would implement some laws and regulations that encourage these ideas. For example, laws about where food such as meat is coming from and how it is grown or made to completely make sure that this is what is being sold. I would also add laws about things like solar panels and other forms of alternative energy and laws about water and gas use. I like your addition about how everyone would encourage each other because I think that word of mouth is the best way to get a message out and it a good way to promote change collectively.

These are really good ideas about trying to reduce carbon. If we get people to drive electric and hybrid cars all over the world our carbon footprint would decrease a lot. Our world would be so much better if we grow our meats that is grass-fed. If we encourage people in our communities and around the world we could reduce our carbon emissions by quite a lot.
