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 !
