Cool Cities


Introduction to Cool Cities:

The words Cool cities makes all of us think of a nice place, a habitable place. Everyone is seeking a world in which he can use the earth’s resources and where living is inexpensive and attractive.

There are some cities trying to be cool by following some rules. By this I mean, some cities have made a commitment to follow rules to keep people healthy, living happy and secure.

Therefore, zero waste is one rule to have in a cool and clean city. Then people will start coming to these cities which have zero waste because they are clean. In addition, having sustainable transportation will give us cool cities. For example, using cars, airplanes and trains makes the climate change and bring pollution. What’s more, when climate change leads to global warming which is a very dangerous issue. Nevertheless, having public transportation will help to decrease the climate change and pollution. However, using public transportations will less on the pollutions and the change in the climate.

Moreover, we can have a cool city by watching our carbon footprint. By this I mean, the products people use daily has a carbon footprint. Actions taken from countries and individuals (travel by car, home energy and public transportation) affect the climate and global warming. Also our actions add greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. However, reducing greenhouse gas will improve our environment and reduce our energy consumption (Not using the car and walking) will also help in reduce our carbon footprint which will help to reduce the risk of global warming and we will have cool cities.

In this project I’m going to research about different subjects related to cool cities.
