My Utopia

As we read about Jonas' world, create your own version of utopia.  Look back at the list of problems in the world that you listed and consider how you might solve four of them in the utopia of your own making. And then write a short paragraph for each explaining the impact your decision would have on our world.

Ex:  1.  global warming and the impact on the envrionment

In my utopia, people would no longer use cars to travel.  People would live close to their jobs because they would have to travel by bicycle. We would continue to keep public transportation such as trains and subways, but they would be fueled by alternative energy sources.  The infrastructure of the city would change because we would need to have bicycle racks instead of parking meters. Roads would become places for bicylists and joggers.
