INSPIRATION: What ideas, projects or movements have you seen that make you hopeful about the future of our cities?
VISION: In what ways should we design our cities differently in order to have a sustainable future?
By taking inspiration from other countries, Canada can really step up its game by using innovative and creative approaches to achieve a more sustainable future. For example, using solar panel built roads, in which the tires generate electricity by the friction between the rubber and the panels, is an option.
ACTION: What can your generation do now to bring us closer to this future?
- Raise awareness!
- Take action by participating in local or global events
- Encourage family and friends to participate as well
- Set up community challenges (such as this one) to encourage and motivate individuals to help
- Educate ourselves so we can implement our learnings towards a better future
