Plan B 4.0

I'm not much of a "green" person. I try to recycle, I try to cut the lights out, turn off the water, and walk to as many places as I can. But I know for a fact that my carbon foot print is huge. I have a truck; so that pretty much vomits carbon emissions just by having it on. I do travel a lot, between school and work, school and home(which is a 8 hour drive back and forth) and just to take my friends out. Back in New Jersey, I would walk everyone. My family had one car, and thats because my dad lived a but far from work, but other than that we walked everywhere. I walked to school, I walked to the store, I walked to the strip mall. And it's the same thing in Colombia. No one own's cars unless your rich. Most people own motorcycles, take taxis or buses, and even take what we call "metro cable"

I really think we should think of something like this here in Florida. It could be a big boost to the economy and help reduce carbon emissions. In Colombia, this is a tourist attraction, with big sections of it running through the poorest parts of the city, and it travels all over the city with many stations, which is very helpful.

When we were assigned to read Plan B 4.0, I wasn't too crazy about it. And even though I read it and I took all the information in, it didn't really hit me until my group presented the chapter to the class. I knew all the information, and I knew what the data was pointing at, it just didn't really sink in until I was telling everyone else. It's a scary thought, that at some point half of Florida is going to be under water. It's such a populated state, where are we going to put everyone that has to relocate? What will happen if there isn't enough time to relocate?
