HI everyone
I live in Malonno, the small town in the mountain valley called Vallecamonica. Where I live the pollution is not as bad as in big cities because we have many forests. Here,the most serious form of pollution is represented by visual pollution due to the presence of overhead power lines . I think the solution to visual pollution could be the use of power lines underground.
I’d like know what do you think about this problem.

HI!

My total carbon footprint is 7642Kg CO2 per year, in the Italy the average footprint is 8181 Kg. I always go to school by car with my mum because she works in the hospital near the school while I go back home by bus.
My results are:
Transport: 1120
Home: 3850

HELLO! My name is Federico and I live in the north of Italy. I think that a great way to get closer to a sustainable city is the production of clean energy; for example everyone should install solar panels. In my home we use this type of energy productions and I must say that in addition to helping the environment we save a lot of money.
I hope that one day this will come true for all people.

hi everyone!
In many places of the world, people are using CO2. Even though people are trying to help save the world, most people do not make a lot problem help the earth and create less CO2, reduce purchases, to use public transport, to eat organic foods, and not heat or cool homes as they often do normally.

Hi my name is elisabetta and I’m from Italy. I am attending a school for building technicians, I’ll be a surveyor and I’m interested in sustainable architecture. With this kind of building you can save environment and costs
I think it is going to be the future in the building’s field. I would like to know what do you think about this topic.

Hi, I’m Davide, I live in Italy. My carbon footprint about transportation is very high because in my town there aren’t a lot of public transportation; there aren’t many buses, there aren’t underground stations and there is just one train. I live in the mountain and I use heating six months a year. People in my town use to recycle. I use electric energy and natural gas in my house, I haven’t got any solar panels. All cars work by petrol fuel and they pollute a lot! The mountain is cleanest than city! Have you got any suggestions to decrease my carbon footprint?

to lower the consumption of energy for transport to walk or cycle for short trips is a very useful thing. -

Hi , I’m Giorgio ,I live in a small town , the carbon footprint in the category of transportation is very high because there aren’t many public transport so people mostly use their personal car ,I think the mountain area where I live is quite polluted because the ski resorts can have a strong impact on the environment because people who go skiing every weekend provoke air pollution their cars.

In many places of the world, people are using CO2, especially the united states. Even though people try to help save the world, most people don’t do as much as they could. To get to help the earth and create less CO2, we can cut down on purchases, use public transportation, eat organic foods, and not heat or cool our homes as often as we normally do.

My name’s Y. I came from Oakland High School. I’m in Mr. Reinhardt’s biology class. After reading this, I think a city with low carbon transportation would look like that city would have many park, trees, and plant. A house have only a car and maybe a bicycle. Most people in that city will travel on feet, bicycle or community transportation such as the bus. Many house in the city have a little garden to growth vegetable, and fruit. People will eat more vegetable, fruit from their garden or from the market. This city will have low carbon because the trees will change most carbon into oxygen through photosynthesis. If people eat vegetable from their garden or from the market, the carbon that created from the transport food from other place to that city would be really low because there would be less transport foods from other place to that city. I would like to live in that city because people who live in that city would be really healthy.

I'm James from Sunnyvale Middle School. I am in Ms. Kim's Science class. I think that a low carbon city would be very hard to do without a large source of renewable energy. Also, having a small garden would be great, but unrealistic. This is because you wouldn't be able to stockpile enough food to feed yourself. Maybe instead you could have a large community garden, where you could get your veggies/fruits for every meal of the day. It'd be within biking distance. Nobody would have cars, but instead would walk or bike everywhere. Not only would this save the atmosphere, it would also keep the city's residents fit and healthy.
