We can't go on building more and more distant suburbs. Not only does this force people to drive further to work and prevent much use of public transportation, but it also harms our water supply, recreation, and animal habitats. Building distant suburbs necessitates miles of roads and huge parking lots, in addition to the space occupied by the homes themselves. Covering up land with concrete prevents rainwater from percolating down to replenish ground water. Instead it runs of picking up worn rubber, oil, pet feces, etc. Thus the rainwater, which we desparately need, becomes "run-off", a disposal problem. |
