context: create sustainable cities and communities
first thoughts
green buildings
plants on the roof and down the sides
waste reduction
water concervation
renewable energy production
safe and affordable
EV charging stations
city/community designed for walking/biking
green areas wherever possible
safe areas for everyone
city policies that encourage sustainable living
solar panels to create energy for heating
affordable public transportation
where do problems occur
LIC and developing countries
main problems
At least 29 countries source more than 90% of their energy from fossil fuels, these countries are low income countries or developing countries.
over use of fossil fuels including: coal, oil, gasoline, and natural gas
overuse/burning of fossil fuels for transport and energy can cause habitat and biodiversity loss
clean energy is overly expensive for an average family
air and water pollution
use of vehicles such as, planes, cars, busses, boats
more cars with less people means more emissions.
no sustainable communities damage wildlife and animal species and also the human race
trouble maintaining low co2 emissions
over use of one use plastic and paper
causes polluted oceans
overpopulation
when do issues occour
when people are careless with tings such as electricity, heating, fuel (travel), plastics
growth of cities outwards
damages habitats and ecosystems as well as causing species to go extinct
the carelessness of the government, e.g. covid LFT tests come in rapped in plastic with plastic swabs and plastic tubes that are not needed, the government needs to take action and not blame the population for things they have created
furthermore the government tells the population that homemade masks don't work and they advise medical masks but that causes unneeded waste
extra sustainability issues
poverty
youth poverty and unemployment
government action
architecture
education
product
lighting issues
agricultural issues
architectural issues
construction created around 33% of emissions
ways to solve
environmentally friendly resources
needs to utilize materials efficiently
decrease
incorporate nature into designs
plants of roof and sides of buildings
use water efficient landscapes
40% of all waste
40% material cosumption
lighting issues
ways to solve
smart street lights
LED lights
turning lights off when not needed
materials used to produce lights are not environmentally friendly
education issues
schools don't teach about sustainability
children don't learn about pollution
ADULTS are not educated about what they are doing to the environment and what they can do to help
some adults believe that its not their future so its not their problem but teenagers who want to stop climate change have no power and cant help
agricultural issues
ways to solve
rotate crops and livestock
using harmful fertilizers
harmful pesticides
