MEXICO CITY， Dec. 1 (Xinhua) -- Chinese company BYD on Thursday unveiled its innovative and cost-effective SkyRail mass transit solution at the 2016 C40 Mayors Summit in Mexico City.

The elevated monorail system has been specially designed to tackle the biggest challenges which today's bustling urban centers are facing: air pollution， traffic congestion and climate change.

Pollution and congestion ""have become the world's two major ills，"" as residents of major cities across the planet can prove it， BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu said at a press conference.

What makes SkyRail particularly suitable to the world's major capitals and cities is ""its adaptability to existing streets ... and building density，"" Wang said.

The rail system's ""small footprint，"" or support structure， is made of columns that are only one meter in diameter， meaning they can be built on existing medians， and costly demolition will not be required， Wang stressed.

The monorail's ""excellent topographic adaptability"" also means it can be built to pass through buildings.

According to BYD， the SkyRail costs only a fifth of what it does to build a subway line， and it can save the construction time by one third.

Stella Li， BYD Vice President for the Americas， told Xinhua， ""Any city with a population of more than 5 million to 7 million should consider the SkyRail"" as a public transit alternative.

As one of the world's largest makers of rechargeable batteries， BYD has made it its mission to innovate more environment-friendly battery technologies.

The company's long-lasting and fully-recyclable iron-phosphate battery， known as the Fe Battery， ""has become the core of its clean energy platform，"" and is expanding into more fields such as electric cars， buses， trucks， and utility vehicles.

Wang also officially kicked off BYD's ""Cool the Earth by One Degree"" program， an invitation to mayors and other officials around the world to reverse global warming by embracing clean technologies.

At the press conference， Wang also signed a purchase contract with the city of Cape Town， South Africa， making it the first African city to incorporate electric buses into its mass transit fleet.

""Today， we become the first city in Africa to buy our first 10 electric buses. Thank you for helping us to reduce carbon emissions and saving our planet，"" Cape Town Mayor Patricia de Lille said after the signing.

In Latin America， BYD's electric buses already form part of transit fleets in cities in Colombia and Brazil.

C40 brings megacities together to address their common problems， mainly climate change.

" In a world of limited resources Nick Martin Jersey , it is impossible to separate people, businesses and the environment. People’s needs create demand, businesses supply products and services to meet these demands and this process takes place within and affects the environment directly and indirectly. More often than not Will Fuller V Jersey , modernization leads us to be shortsighted about how much we can take out of the earth and whether what we give back to it compensates for the loss. Sadly, the equal and opposite reaction to the act of constantly taking from the earth is global warming, water crisis Julien Davenport Jersey , depletion of natural resources and ultimately an untimely reduction in the quality of overall life on earth.

In the face of these harsh realities, corporations that actively practice sustainability is the only way forward. Of the top 100 entities in the world, 51 are corporations and that is the biggest sign of how to pave the path to a healthy planet. Sustainability in business can no longer afford to be just a CSR catchphrase; it has to become the backbone of every business D'Onta Foreman Jersey , if we are to leave a healthy planet for the generations to come.

Problems with climate change; air, land and water pollution and urban decay speak volumes of a critical gap in our education. They represent how little we understand how nature works and the part we play in our ecosystems. Here are some simple tips that corporations can “learn” to practice right away, while we embark on a longer journey of understanding our relationship with nature and the ecological repercussions of globalization.

Corporations should start their sustainability work at home: by minimizing their internal footprint with energy Zach Cunningham Jersey , water and waste. Recycling water, creating biodiversity zones within their campuses, engaging in safe rainwater harvesting methods and actively engaging in efforts to reduce greenhouse gas intensity are just a few examples of measures that each organization can take internally. Energy efficient measures like desktop power management and printer management along with encouraging teleconferences and internet-enabled meetings go a long way in reducing a company’s carbon footprint one day at a time.

Considering the largest problem with sustainability work is a lack of basic ecology education Deshaun Watson Jersey , corporations will do well to engage in environmental education initiatives and community sensitization projects. Teaching the community – especially children – about sustainability and what each individual can do to help the ailing planet, is a great way of paying it forward. Besides, influencing young minds to live responsibly will have lasting effects in the next generation’s attitude towards their environment.

Finally Houston Texans Hats , engaging with suppliers who share an organization’s sustainability goals is a healthy way to ensure that other organizations learn from your values. Opting to work with companies that have similar ethical values and economical goals – companies that adhere to high standards of human rights and employee welfare – is a good way to ensure that your partner companies are not only aware of your standards, but aspire to meet them as well.
