Urban Living Is Good for the Environment
Care for the environment is something that we all should pay more attention to these days. More and more, we are realizing the negative effect of certain practices on the environment. We also know that development has a lot to do with these adverse effects. One good thing about development, though, is that urban living might actually be good for the environment.
In an article published by Wired.com earlier this year, the idea that urban living is easier on the environment as compared to suburban living. As hard as that may be to believe, the article actually provided data. If you take a little time to think about it, you’ll be easily convinced, though.
Think: fewer cars because people take mass transportation more – or walk.
Think: more efficient energy use for large buildings (in terms of heating and cooling).
So, if you’re still hesitating as to whether to go urban or not – maybe it’s time to make that move!
