I strongly believe we should plant more trees. Trees are vital for combatting climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide, provide habitats for countless species, and enhance the quality of life in urban areas. Expanding green spaces is essential for a sustainable future.

I strongly agree that we should have low-emission zones in city centers. This is essential for combating air pollution and promoting public health. By reducing traffic emissions, we can create cleaner and healthier urban environments. It's also a critical step towards achieving our climate goals and ensuring environmental justice for all communities.

We should indeed increase carbon taxes as part of a larger Green New Deal. This can discourage investment in fossil fuels and generate revenue to support renewable energy and infrastructure, ultimately combating climate change.

I believe that nuclear energy, while it provides some benefits in terms of reducing carbon emissions, also carries significant risks and costs. We should invest in renewable energy infrastructure that's more sustainable and eco-friendly, rather than relying on a potentially hazardous source like nuclear power.

I believe we should phase out existing nuclear plants and invest heavily in renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. The risks and long-term waste management issues associated with nuclear energy are significant, and transitioning to cleaner, safer alternatives will better serve our communities and future generations.
