Dailly assignment : What Should Our Future Towns Look Like?


Topic: What Should Our Future Towns Look Like?


Sophisticated inventions have made our daily life easier in the past century but often at the expense of our natural resources. Gas powered cars got us everywhere in a flash, but they polluted our environment. Electric heat and light made our homes warm and welcoming but also burned up limited coal and oil. Factories revolutionized the way we worked, but industrial waste trashed rivers, streams and oceans. Today we predict that lifestyle changes on the horizon for the next 150 years may actually improve our planet's health. So we can use cleaner energy and fewer chemical while working, playing, and bringing up our families in the towns of tomorrow; this is not a dream, it is a reality. If we believe in some innovations, our future towns could preserve the earth's natural riches and still be lovely places to be called homes.
For example, in transportation, more people will work at their home, shop online, and keep in touch with others through computers, more traffic will reduce. Less gasoline cars and fuel trucks should be used, more the air pollution will decrease. More many people will accelerate the processes of recycling waste, more we will have cleaner towns and economize in money spent to buy raw materials. Our towns will come from sources cleaner than coal, oil, and gas. Some energy will flow from windmills other from the sun and will supply electricity in low price to power our homes and industries. Failure to transform the nature in this way will let our planet in desperate conditions by the time we approach 150 years.
