We could build water barriers and parks in and around all communities and instead of displacing people add value to their communities.

Abigail Hamilton 5/07/2021 1:17 AMBe more inclusive! We seem to target keeping the wealthy, white people happy, obviously, and that needs to change! North Asheville is very white and secluded. It is sort of it’s own little bubble of wealthy, Simply Southern wearing, white people. -

Liv Suydam 5/06/2021 1:57 PMWe can tackle the affordable housing problem and raise the minimum wage so people can afford to stay in the green neighborhoods. We can use climate change as an opportunity to provide jobs to make the city more sustainable. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricity Watch a Video about Methane DigestersWhat does your vision of a sustainable community look like? What would need to be changed in order for such vision to become reality?
Braeden O'Connell 5/05/2021 9:26 PMMy perfect sustainable community would draw from a large solar grid from deserts and a large wind grid from plains. These would power the nations, but for smaller tasks such as cooking, biogas would be used to replace charcoal and wood, thus creating a sustainable future. To do this we need to move past the economic system of today and work towards large government initiatives and projects. -

Irving Griwatz 5/04/2021 10:48 AMI think it would make sense to create an international fund and have other countries invest in the earth's wellbeing, I couldn't imagine that all 39 countries could just afford to change to geothermal electricity. Raising awareness would also be important and could sway be to help however they were able to. -

Campbell Abernathy 5/04/2021 10:33 AMMy city can make sure their plans are equitable and socially just by making sure they don’t push out lower-income residents while trying to improve the climate. Everyone deserves a safe and affordable living environment, so don’t ruin that by giving more housing to the people who don’t struggle with finding a place to live. -
