A sustainable city would waste less water, food, and would produce less greenhouse gases. To start off, it would need to include electric cars, sustainable items with no plastic, solar panels, and more plant life. People should recycle, compost, and produce as little waste as possible. They could also take quicker showers and eat less meat to save water. As for plant life, we could gradually grow more trees and produce organic foods. I would also make sustainable items such as containers, utensils, and more available to everyone. Electric cars do not require the use of fossil fuels nor does it emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. These are just some general ideas, but I will mostly cover the use of electric cars. Electric cars reduce air pollution and are even better when charged with renewable energy, such as solar panels. According to energy.gov, "The U.S. used nearly nine billion barrels of petroleum last year, two-thirds of which went towards transportation.  Our reliance on petroleum makes us vulnerable to price spikes and supply disruptions." This shows a large amount of fossil fuels that are being used for transportation in just one country alone. Just imagine what it would be like for the whole world? These cars can even help contribute to the health of people by improving the air quality around them. This is why my family and I have an electric car. I think all these eco-friendly factors would me want to live in this sustainable city because a better environment would mean that there are fewer natural disasters.
