Sustainable City

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?

First of all at we should all be aware of what’s really happening outside our personal space. In fact we’re not alone in this planet and we must take into consideration that being selfish will only cause our lost. Of course we obviously can’t stop everything and crash the economy by eating plants and seeds everyday; but we should be able to change little by little our life style. In other words, I think that the ideal of a sustainable economy isn’t out of reach for us. If we want to apply it really hard and if we find the right balance between consumption and the respect of the environment. We are used to consume without thinking about the consequences of our actions. In conclusion we should for example, choose handmade bags over plastic bags; walk more, eat less meat , Not waste energy.

I agree that it would be best to change our lifestyles little by little (unless it is easy to make the change quickly). I think one of the important things to encouraging everyone to do so would be to spread awareness more. While some people or countries might be more environmentally conscious, others could probably benefit from a campaign or something to educate them more. However that also brings up the fact that it is not always the cheapest to switch to living more sustainably. For countries that aren't as well off or are still developing, it could be harder for them to do as much. That being said, then I think it comes down to the more well-off countries being willing to help them out more.
