  Another reason good urbanism and walkability is super important: the emissions don’t just come from the cars, they come from the excess roads themselves, too.

    Their intention was to bolster the economy with busy work, but that’s not a long term solution.

        Houses don’t stand long on their own. It takes a significant amount of time and money to keep these things from filling up with mold or collapsing.

  cement releases large amounts of CO2 when it is being produced, i.e. when the cement powder is being produced from limestone.

  later, when you mix the cement with water and sand to make concrete, it re-absorbs that CO2. you’ve got it backwards :D
