Human footprint,carbon and sustainability

First of here are some low impact places ( from left to wright on map below)1) kepreanof, alaska, population around 27 people. People moved out to more populated areas and this mostly fishermen Barley and cars. 2) King William Island, population 1,279(as of 2011). So this place is just an island with a few towns and some other stuff with little cars. 3) Town of Leaf Rapids, Canada population in 2006 was 539. The town was developed as an experimental model; a model that other northern communities could replicate as they strove for modern convenience and luxury in a northern environment. 4) nuuk greenland, population 15,666 it was built to be a tourist stop and information center. So not much impact on the earth. 5) Grindavik, Iceland, population 2,888. This town was founded by Vikings and the U.S. Navy has radio antennas out there but that is really all that is out there.
