Human Footprint, Carbon & Sustainability

The five low impact areas that I chose are Nova Scotia, Nunavut, Alaska, Yukon, and The city Timmins. These areas are low impact because they have a sparse population only in a few concentrated areas, and are much less developed than cities like San Diego or Detroit. This means that nature is more abundant in these areas.

The five high impact areas I chose are San Diego, Detroit, Jacksonville, Vancouver, and New York. I chose these areas because they're urban, have an extremely high density population, and emit most of the world's carbon dioxide with millions of cars in each city. They also contribute to most of the world's light pollution and are pretty much huge blocks of concrete.
