Nice.

Of course, unlike more authoritarian cities, Canada cannot just raise a city overnight obviously, but adapting our bylaws to the environment coud certainly move at a slightly faster pace none-the-less.

It will come to fruition as people become more eco-aware..

The younger generations are far more Eco-friendly than our generation is. China and India are more Eco-conscious than Canadians and US Citizens..

If you econauts weren't mindless moonbeams wandering the universe, reality might set in and you'd think about how heavy snow is and think, "how the hell would we clear snow without diesel fuel and heavy equipment What would heat our homes with. Where would our eco food come from?" Ya know, just the little things that make life in Canada hard.

Had you watched the video, you would have seen that it was not cutting out fuel altogether, but merely reducing it significantly. It was being pragmatic.

I watched yup. I also watched the guy have a can of coke and go to a coffee shop both which are continually under attack from econauts. I never saw a single garden or mention of any gardens beyond "walking paths". It's still like every other city. Fed from outside land use.

Not a city I would visit no rusty old farm trucks and no parking spaces
This is this pristine nonsense, besides they want us all to ride bicycles
like they did in China in the sixties.
We need to see a lot more traffic lanes to please me

Clear snow the same way they did 100 years ago.. maybe there won't be so many dam fat people if they actually had to work a little?

I love how some organic people want to go back to horse drawn
actually half the field is needed to grow food for the horse thus
the yield goes way down.
Diesel is way better it covers a larger area and produces more food
And all these carbon credits are nonsense more ways to suck money
out of consumers jeans as an end product

Carbon credits are long gone. 1 year was I all I benefitted from them after spending an extra $175K going with carbon credit approved planting/harvesting systems.

But what about not cutting out diesel altogether but just reorganizing zonging laws so as to encourage more people to live closer to work or build more walkways and cycling paths, not to replace cars to but to make them a more attractive alternative?

Why all black and white?
