It's essential for growing cities to be spaced out enough, as more buildings and facilities are constructed
- City Planning
this is very important for a sustainable future because community engagement is key to identifying and prioritizing issues and coming up with plans to avert problems.
Some other strategies are:
- Renewable energy
- electric transportation
- making jet fuel from sugar cane
- legal right to a clean environment
- reduce emissions (riding a bike to work)
- plant more trees
- community gardens
- biofuel]]> 2018-08-28 04:14:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberley_hyland/i8qxg8nyd4iu/wish/275762840 kimberley_hyland https://padlet.com/kimberley_hyland/i8qxg8nyd4iu/wish/275764388 2018-08-28 04:25:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberley_hyland/i8qxg8nyd4iu/wish/275764388 kimberley_hyland https://padlet.com/kimberley_hyland/i8qxg8nyd4iu/wish/277221559 2018-09-03 04:05:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberley_hyland/i8qxg8nyd4iu/wish/277221559 What is bio fuel? kimberley_hyland https://padlet.com/kimberley_hyland/i8qxg8nyd4iu/wish/277222672 Bio fuel is a kind of fuel, however it's derived from contemporary biological processes, like agriculture
Some examples of bio fuel:
Ethanol which is made from corn from the United States and sugarcane from Brazil
Bio diesel which is derived from vegetable oil and animal fat
Green diesel which is made from algae and and other plant sources
and Bio gas which is methane derived from animal manure and other digested organic material.]]> 2018-09-03 04:14:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberley_hyland/i8qxg8nyd4iu/wish/277222672 kimberley_hyland https://padlet.com/kimberley_hyland/i8qxg8nyd4iu/wish/277223276 2018-09-03 04:18:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberley_hyland/i8qxg8nyd4iu/wish/277223276 How this strategy will create economically, socially and environmentally sustainable urban places kimberley_hyland https://padlet.com/kimberley_hyland/i8qxg8nyd4iu/wish/277234999 Bio fuels are believed to be the future of fuel and transportation, and is being supported by many governments due to its range of recognized benefits. It's so much more easier and sustainable to produce than regular fossil fuels which is the main verdict.

Economic
Economic impacts if bio fuel includes less jobs and certain coal and fuel companies being forced to shut down, we will have more money because fossil fuels won't need to be produced anymore, and since bio fuel is so cheap we'll have more money to make bio fuel and grow more crops.

Environmental
Bio fuel can contribute to the environment by reducing gas emissions, it's a good replacement for fossil fuels, improves soil quality, less water use, and is genuinely more sustainable and easier to produce and doesn't have the same negative effects that fossil fuels do.

Social
Bio fuel can potentially increase energy security and reduce prices of crops such as corn because of the amount being produced for the making of bio fuel. As a result we won't need to contact other countries and import oil because we'd be using another source of fuel.]]> 2018-09-03 06:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberley_hyland/i8qxg8nyd4iu/wish/277234999 kimberley_hyland https://padlet.com/kimberley_hyland/i8qxg8nyd4iu/wish/277238707 2018-09-03 06:38:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberley_hyland/i8qxg8nyd4iu/wish/277238707 kimberley_hyland https://padlet.com/kimberley_hyland/i8qxg8nyd4iu/wish/277239087 2018-09-03 06:41:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberley_hyland/i8qxg8nyd4iu/wish/277239087 Pros and Cons kimberley_hyland https://padlet.com/kimberley_hyland/i8qxg8nyd4iu/wish/277246313 pros
-  Bio based fuel with essentially carbon neutral combustion
- replacement for petroleum based liquid fuels
- it's very renewable
- absorbs carbon dioxide as it grows
- both waste carbon dioxide and wastewater can be used as nutrients 
- higher energy per acre than other bio-fuels.


cons
-  effects pricing of oil
- carbon emission levels
- amount of sustainable bio fuel that needs to be produced in order for this to work
-deforestation 
- soil erosion
- loss of biodiversity
- effect on water resources

However, bio fuel production is only sustainable under the circumstances on the amount of land available and therefore, can only be decided in a regional context.]]> 2018-09-03 07:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberley_hyland/i8qxg8nyd4iu/wish/277247616 kimberley_hyland https://padlet.com/kimberley_hyland/i8qxg8nyd4iu/wish/278683198 2018-09-07 00:11:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberley_hyland/i8qxg8nyd4iu/wish/278683198
