This month the mayor of Mesa Arizona became the 1000 leader to sign a climate change bill that was presented at the United States Conference of Mayors. In this treaty the mayors have agreed to cut there emissions with the help from the Kyoto treaty that was sign by the United States. Many cities will not be able to meet the goal that was set by the treaty but it is still an attempt to make things better in our large and small cities. Metric cities consume 50 percent of more of the planets energy resources and contribute to as much as 80 percent to greenhouse gas emissions.
I think that it is good that cities in the United Sates are trying to contribute to cutting the greenhouse gas emissions that they put out. Also it is good becaues more cities will see what they are doing and they will do the same thing and that will really help in the cutting of greenhouse gases the United States.
