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?

Sustainable city
To start, my sustainable city would make single use products better for the earth. More specifically, getting rid of any packaging that cannot be composted or recycled. This city would be beautiful and clean, ideally, motivating the citizens to keep it that way. An OPB news article, focuses on the problem of pollution on our environment, and ways we can help. OPB explains that when we throw items away they do not just say in the trash, they often end up in oceans and in nature, hurting and killing wildlife, and making the water less safe and dirty. I would want to live in the sustainable city because of the cleanliness and peacefulness of knowing there is not waste everywhere you look.
That's a great thought, but isn't their reasons that the real-worlds hasn't eliminated single-use plastics? In addition, do you think that this generation of humans is capable of committing to something like this "sustainable city"? Many people are so ingrained in their ways of thinking that they would reject a system like this and say something really dumb.
