Cities more eco-friendly than assumed

I'm reading a fascinating book, Green Metropolis: Why Living Smaller, Living Closer, and Driving Less are the Keys to Sustainability by David Owen. The premise is that large city living, particularly New York, is actually the most green lifestyle available today. He argues that Americans fleeing to the suburbs and rural areas increase their waste and carbon footprint.

I recommend you give this book a read, it will change your ideas about how to help our world. If you were thinking you couldn't enjoy urban living then get this book!
