The Green Business Plan: Peddler's M8
Netherlands has the vast infrastructure to employ renewable energy, especially wind and solar. These are the targets that can be implemented to the greatest extent, whereby Carbon Emissions can fall by 90% since mandating every building to have solar power, even along main roads and creating roads with solar panels can reduce such emissions. The Wind Power has high potential, allocating offshore and special land.
The use of greenery in the urban area should be used, more parks and trees, having rooftop gardens, saving space and through plants nullifying CO2, the idea is to increase the use of electricity from sustainable sources, for
example buses and trams. While, economically, it requires substantial funds, it also reduces the dependency on fossil fuels and a city with clean air, which is ethical and environmentally friendly.
The solution is that employing greenery and renewable resources on buildings and existing infrastructure, instead of land. How the great problem is solved, lies in the adoption of reduction of carbon emissions in daily life and for that….
Why go too far outside the box? When there is a solution that is simple but can be made into a revolutionary system!
The questions we want to answer and potentially solve are:
- Is it possible to make sustainability a fun thing, rather than a mitigational punishment to people?
- Can existing ideas be combined to form a super-efficient transportation network prevailing throughout the whole country, including urban areas as well as rural?
- Can a specific habit of the Netherlands be exploited to ensure greater sustainability and help reduce burdens on current transportation burdens?
