Traffic and the increase of CO2 are some of the serious issues that are caused by industries in modern cities. If we keep emitting this huge amount of CO2 we will have to find another Earth to live in. This essay will describe the problems caused by modern cities and outline some of the solutions to this problem.
One of the problems we are facing these days is the rise in population which leads to more energy consumption and that could have a negative effect on the environment. We don’t have another Earth. Therefore, if we want to keep our planet we have to reduce the greenhouse emissions by a half (Cool City).
In order to achieve that there is plans by a company from Japan called SDCJ to build a cool city which can reduce carbon emissions by 60% as well as providing facilities for a comfortable lifestyle. In the cool city there are a lot of zones such as a business zone, residential zone and a sport zone. These zones are arranged in way to make it easier for people to travel by foot. A huge amount of trees and water is used to minimize emissions (Cool City). Other techniques can also reduce these CO2 emissions such as roofs that catch cool breeze and reduce sunlight and circulating seawater underground to cool the city (Hope, 2008).
In my opinion a cool city is expensive to build, but it is a positive step to solve towards solving the problem of global warming.
