Task 6 - Cool City

In this task we watched a cool city video at the beinning of the class : the video talked about the problems since the industrial revolution started . The problems the video mentioned are the population growth then the traffic congestion and the carbon dioxide emissions.



In Japan over the past 30 years the GDP has increased by 100 % and at the same time the energy efficiency was increased and the oil consumption has decreased 8% .



The green city is a cool city with zero carbon dioxide emissions without any environment problems . The transportation has many types like hybrid cars or trains or watertaxis . The zones in the city are Business, Commercial, Cultural and Residential.



There are many ways to solve the environment problems and reduce the heat like tree-planting; waterways; rooftop membranes .There are two types of buildings which would reduce CO2; one is called eco-towers which are going to reduce 50% and the second one is eco-residences and it will reduce about 30%.

In my opinion we should care about the environment because the life will become harder in the future and we can solve the problems to have a nice life on earth so no need for a new earth to live . All people must work with us to overcome these problems .
