Count on all American cities, European cities, cities in Africa, Asia,
and South America going car-free in the near future and count on car-free
cities being built in the American Midwest, Mexico, Canada, Europe, Africa,
and Asia. This comes from http://www.carfree.com, http://www.carbusters.org,
various transportation websites, and European Union websites. As we head
toward an ecologically sustainable future, count on that happening. We're
talking about the future here. That's what we're talking about.

Hey! That's funny!

But if all American cities are going "car-free", why build "car-free"
cities?

What else is required for an ecologically sustainable future?

what we're talking about.


What else is required for an ecologically sustainable future?



1. Alternative Energy-Wind, solar, tidal power. Biomass and
hydrogen also on the drawing board.
2. Green Buildings and homes
3. Pristine lands and open space
4. Mixed-use developments (retail on the ground floor,
offices/condos/apartments on top)
5. Smart Growth/New Urbanism neighborhoods-neighborhoods that
have everything within walking distance of where we live
6. Places for wildlife
7. Downtown areas where residences, shopping, restaurants, etc.
are all located in one spot
8. Dense cities and towns. If possible, overhauling our cities
and towns so they're smaller and about the size they were before World
War II
9. Alternative transportation. Get around by bicycle, foot, or
mass transit. No cars. Gradually dismantle the road network.
10. Have car-free cities. Turn the streets of a city like San
Francisco, New York, or Seattle into pedestrian malls. Or build new
car-free cities.
11. Set up high-speed trains that connect cities and intercity
trains to help people get around cities. Guidewire trollies could also
do the trick.
12. Design aircraft that runs on solar power and build smaller
airports. Design aircraft that can take off vertically rather than
horizontally.
13. Keep businesses locally/employee-owned and smaller and don't
have big corporations.
14. Live simply instead of frugally or materially. Switch money
to non paper-based currency such as credits. Own less.
15. Put vegetation or rooftop gardens on top of buildings so
people can grow their own food. Also have community gardens and
community farms.
16. Make television interactive. Send all movies to DVD or online
viewing areas rather than theatres.
17. Make all weapons laser-based or non-lethal stun weapons.
Outlaw projectile weapons.
18. Clean oceans. No pollution or fishing. Allow kelp farming
such as what they're doing in Arcata, California
19. Overhaul the United States by turning by abolishing the fifty
states and combing them into regional subdivisions. Move the US
Capital from Washington to San Francisco and change to female
leadership. Shrink the government and give internal subdivisions
20. A space program using sustainable space vehicles and move
some of the population to orbital space stations, space colonies,
colonies on the Moon and other planets such as Mars, with an eventual
move to the stars. This will help lower the population on Earth. The
population on the Moon and other planets use the resources of these
places sustainably.
21. Contact sports are banned because they promote violence and
aggression. Keep sports such as baseball and soccer. Americans deal
with aggression by holding ritual war games.
22. A more liberated American population with a twenty-hour work
week, hippie-style romance, etc.
23. Communal living arrangements but keep them voluntary. Keep
non-communal arrangements for those who want them.
24. A love for trees and animals are left alone and treated as
sentient creatures
25. Nature-based and New Age religion
26. Same clothing styles and fashions as today, but clothes are
hand-woven and made out of plant material
27. Integrate technology with daily life
28. Communications are done via videophones and over
Internet-based and satellite-based communications systems
29. Where land is scarce or is environmentally sensitive, build
some facilties Korean-style. Underground.

There's more where those ideas came from.
