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?

Compost

bskiles24@bishopodowd.org

Where I live everybody has a green compost bin along with trash and recycling. I noticed that composting significantly lowered my carbon footprint. This is something that is easy to do and takes no extra effort for my family because my city provides us with the resources to compost. My family that lives out of state does not compost because their city does not collect it. This is bad for the environment and for our health. In 2015, Americans landfilled or incinerated around 50 million tons of compostable waste. I think every city should make composting just like trash or recycling.

I agree because the amount of waste that goes into the trash is too much and it should be reduced. I think that every city should have compost because it will help the environment. In my city, we have a compost that comes to pick it up every week, and I think it is very helpful because it can separate the trash from the landfill and also we can reuse the landfill to help our environment. The compost can also feed your animals like. If you have chickens like I do, it is very helpful, so then you are not wasteful.
