Imagine that you are a resident of Ashfordton, a community whose characteristics are described below. You have come together with you neighbors for a special meeting to devise a plan for helping the community become carbon-neutral by 2050, meaning that by the time, no net carbon dioxide emissions will be produced by residents as a whole.
Fortunately, you have all showed up to the meeting with lots of knowledge you gained from your reading in this course. Now it is time to put your thinking cap to work! Your plan should consist of the following elements:
Energy conservation measure (e.g., promoting carpooling by adding special lanes to local highways)
Steps to move toward sustainable energy production (e.g., installing solar panels on town government buildings)
Reducing energy consumption will help, but some actions will have to involve switching to other power sources for buildings and vehicles as well.
Post at least two separate and unique ideas.
