Cool cities

All over the world people are trying to solve the global warming problem. We are trying to solve this problem by a lot of things like using clean energy and hybrid cars. We need to make a stand to decrease the levels of CO2 in the air so we can live a better life.
One of the most creative ideas is the project that is done in Japan, which contains 11 companies named SDJC. This company is trying to build a city that depends on clean power, hybrid cars and green buildings. It tries to reduce the carbon emissions by building this city. There are three main zones in this city which are business, cultural and residential. It uses a lot of stuff to reduce heating like tree planting, rooftop membranes and water ways; the percentage of emissions that the eco-towers will reduce is 50% and from the residential towers is 30%.

However there some problems with the city. The fist one is that as they say it might be a bit expensive so how can regular people who want to protect the environment afford it. Another thing is how can we apply it here in the UAE and what the reaction of the people will be so they should work harder to build these kind of cities all over the world.

The video is so realistic and I think shows us the solution of how we can beat the global warming. I think this city is a very good idea because we really need it at this time. It also shows how they can generate power and they can beat the carbon emissions.
