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?

My Plans for a Sustainable City
My sustainable city would rely almost entirely on public transportation and other means that would limit an increase of carbon into the atmosphere. Implementing types of sustainable technologies, like windmills and a larger amount of electric cars, will dramatically reduce the carbon compared to other sources of energy and transportation. For example, riding public rail systems produce 62% less and bus transit produces 33% less carbon than, for instance, taking individual rides from a gasoline-powered car. Other actions, like implementing stringent trash acts and a plastic ban would remove the yearly 56 gigatons of carbon produced by plastic bags alone. Through actions like these, we can take the first steps to limit the carbon in the atmosphere.
