Parks and green areas Cities need more green space!
OUR SOLUTIONS: Free recycled bags needed to grab waste from the floor Planting trees and create new green areas less space for cars better quality of the air Lower the price of the public transport Expand the cycle paths and make them safer for the citizens more bikers less drivers!
More solutions ● Cities can give subventions for solar panels and for green roofs. ● Put packing deposit money on the plastic bottles less people will throw them on the street. ● The city can oblige people to plant trees and other green in the garden.
