Every household should be supplied with a fleur de lis fountain like the past one from the Ohio River. Running through chilly water in the Louisville emblem shape should cool everyone down!

Have all Louiville citizens and businesses agree to set their clocks back 12 hours. That way, we can all sleep through the hottest part of the day and do business and have fun during the evening and night when its cooler.

I vote we all enjoy our cityfor all of its quirks. During the peak hours all who are hot should utilize the cheap attractions around town that are intown or enjoy the day at a park in the shade. The best recommendation for all who are hot, go to the water front or Belvedere and splash in the fountains.

While you’ve got the smart folks figuring things, how’s about they figure a way to supply (affordable, if not free) drinking water at those phenomenal festivals our fine city is hosting?

Louisville Water Co. boasts about the quality of their tap water, and I’ve even seen their little decorated bottles to put it in.
So, why not join forces?

Here’s part 2 of my idea: The containers should be re-usable souvenirs of Louisville – our residents are proud to use Louisville merchandise, visitors could take them home (which would help advertise), and it would reduce waste all at the same time.
Ta-dah!

- Have misting fans or areas to encourage walking or riding a bike to work

- Provide tax credits for people who purchase street legal scooters and to merchants who provide more bicycle racks and scooter parking

- Provide watering stations for people and PETS

- Provide tax credits for planting trees and creating more greenspace especially in urban areas.

- Utilize solar power – if it’s going to be hot – embrace it, and piggyback the power it provides

Don’t allow the politicians to talk, speak, campaign until the weather gets cooler and only one week before the election. Then they must learn sign language to communicate. Less hot air around.

Establish a tax incentive for more tree planting. For example, provide an 80% tax credit toward the cost of the purchase and planting trees from Louisville-based sellers. The remaining 20% of the cost would ensure the recipient is committed to the survival of the trees.
Allow this tax credit only if the tree’s are actually planted in locations that the tree-sellers verify have a good potential to survive.
This program would help provide jobs, decrease carbon dioxide in the air, and increase shade – thereby lowering our temperature!

Try not giving out prizes that are made of petroleum products.
