How do you think our built environment affects climate? What should we change in our built environment to help prevent climate change?

Industrial life, especially in Europe and USA CO2 is increasing in air and temperature is going up. We have three ways to do this:
1. to use natural energy.
2. try not to reduce energy in industry and factories
3. all people should try to save energy or use the facilities with lowest energy. Especially in Europe and USA because the other countries are still growing and they need to produce CO2. But U.S and Europe produce much more CO2 than others.
