Americans drive more than others transportation = 1/3 GHG; 70% oil
Why? ►Hoover zoning codes - SFD, wide streets, off-
street pkg, no stores ►Sprawl subsidies: VHA, Fanny Mae, Freddie
Mac, mortgage deductions, redlining, sewers ►Interstates: bulldoze & divide communities,
traffic/pollution, access farmland
Impact: drive for every loaf of bread = hi VMT www.sierraclub.org/transportation, www.t4america.org http://bettercities.net/article/restoring-lifeblood-main-street-21194
