Reflect on environmental issues you learned about in this course so far. What have been the most important decisive experiences or convincing arguments in shaping your own attitudes? Given that, respond to this scenario: you are in charge of your own city. List three strategies to make you city more environmentally sustainable. Explain each strategy.

I learned that human beings play a huge role in environmental issues. If they can act properly things can come under control and they can easily eliminate the most dangerous environmental issues such as climate change, water pollution, and air pollution in Kane County, Illinois. I noticed that people in my city are not giving enough importance to these environmental issues. I learned that these environmental issues can become more impactful because these issues can impact the health of the people in Kane County, Illinois. These health implications can have a long-lasting influence on the overall health of the citizens (Girardet, 2019). I believe that people's attitudes should change as they have to take environmental issues more seriously. In order to make my city's air quality better, I will install giant air purifiers in every locality of my city. They will be as tall as 20 feet and can cover 1,000 square meters of area. These large installations will also spread social awareness against air pollution among the people of my city. To tackle climate change, I will create a strict rule of having 70 percent of power consumption by installing solar panels on the rooftop of every house. It will drastically reduce conventional power consumption. In order to tackle water pollution, I will upgrade the “wastewater treatment facilities” of my city along with banning plastic usage completely (Rahmayanti et al., 2019). I will also install a water purifier in every house in my city to make drinking water safe. References Girardet, H. (2019). Sustainable cities: A contradiction in terms?
