How Should Cities Be
Replanned to Minimise
Global Warming?
İrem BAŞARAN
As it is known, there is a momentous
problem about our planet and our
life, which is ‘Global Warming’. And it
is all due to human actions. In 1800,
The Industrial Revolution started and
people began to use steam output for
industry. Simultaneously, CO2 emission
and global warming increased.
People started to use machine power.
Because it was cheaper, easier and
faster than manpower. Days turned to
weeks, weeks turned to months, and
months turned to years and our planet
became sick and tired of releasing CO2
or any other harmful gases. Energy
consumption is another issue. But we
can solve these problems by planting
more trees, using public transportation,
saving water and energy, etc. Let’s
take a look at the maps of our cities.
For instance, when architects build
constructions, they consume a lot of
energy. They should use less energy to
build them and choose a suitable place
where there are less trees. Because
trees produce O2, which is very
important for us and the future of our
planet, they shouldn’t cut them.
There is a big CO2 emission in our
planet and if people don’t reduce it, the
only solution will be to plant more trees.
Moreover, factories should be built
far away from the city centres. They
should be covered by trees and filters
must be attached to their chimneys.
Last but not least, transportation poses
another threat. As you know, vehicles
produce a lot of CO2. If everybody
uses their own vehicles, it will be the
end of the world and there will be a
huge congestion of CO2. Therefore,
people should use public transport
to reduce the emission of CO2 and to
help the world. They can even use their
bikes. They can STOP TALKING and
START DOING!
