Green City

Nowadays there have been a lot problems in the economic development. These problems were the over growth in population, traffic delays and many more. Companies such as the SDCJ Japan are taking action to solve this problem.

There have been several problems on earth and it is filled with hazardous gases such as carbon dioxide. The researchers and scientists who were researching about this case assume that if we don’t solve these problems we will need another planet. However we can’t because it’s not possible for us to replace the earth. So one thing we should do is reduce the amount of carbon dioxide that is emitted into the air. The maximum rate of carbon dioxide should be reduced by 50 percent in order to make the earth’s environment normal to live in. In Japan over the past 3 decades the GDP has increased 100 percent. Moreover the productivity of energy has gone up to 37 percent and even 8 percent of oil consumption has decreased. Now the carbons that are emitted into the air usually come from buildings and transportation. Because of this the carbon emissions are very high. However there will be a project about a city that will reduce the CO2 and it will be called Cool City which means Green City. This will be the future city to reduce the carbon dioxide that is within the atmosphere of the earth. The companies that are building it are eleven famous companies. All of these famous companies are from the same country which is Japan. In their project there will be three types of transportation system which are water taxis, hybrid cars and trains. This transportation system will all be renewable energy. Also the City zones will be divided into three parts which is the commercial, business and residential. They will be many of these zones within the city itself. In addition to that in the project of cool city there will be also another additional three elements to reduce the heat and these elements are wind, water and trees. Another way they aim to reduce the carbon dioxide is using two types of buildings which is Eco Towers and Eco Residences. I think that if they use most of these elements it will reduce a lot of carbon dioxide within the air. However at the end of the video the overall of percentage of reduced carbon emissions is thought to be 60 percent.

In conclusion, these cities that will we built in the future might reduce the carbon dioxide. But I think that we won’t be needing these cities because no one knows what might happen in the future.
