Cool cities:

Since the Industrial revolution, some problems have started such as rising in population, increase in energy consumption, and increase in carbon dioxide emission into the air and traffic delay.

Solving these problems in the coming days would save us. People should decrease the amount of the carbon dioxide emitted into the air by 50% to live within the capacity of a single earth. Japan GPA (Gross Domestic Product) has gone up in the past 30 years by 100% and energy efficiency has increased by 37% and 8% was decreased in oil consumption.
A Japanese organization made from group of companies called SDCJ has planned a project named cool city. Cool city is Model city with various technologies to cool the air and reduce the carbon dioxide emissions by 60%. This city uses hybrid cars, water taxi would be available and light mono rails as well. In addition, the city radius is estimated to be 1KM, which means that everything inside the city is easy to reach by walking. Cool city uses solar farm which are surrounded by many trees to prevent and hold sand storms.

My opinion:
In my opinion, cool city is a wonderful city because it is an environmentally city. In addition the city cares about our planet by many things like by tree planting ,waterways ,rooftop membranes. I hope there will be many cities like cool city.
