You are more disruptive to that environment in your back yard than you would be if you moved to a city.
That's exactly the problem. Any asphalt and concrete you add is sustaining 1 person. Any asphalt and concrete in an urban place is sustaining 1000s of people.
You burn more fossil fuels in the winter to stay warm. You burn more fossil fuels to provide 1 source of light that only you use.
The multiplier you're missing is the number of people we service with the things we're doing in an urban environment.
- ipaddr 4y agoWhy do you assume parent burns more fossil fuels? Having a 1,000s crammed into small spaces is China and that populatin density caused covid, sars, etc to spread. It's not health physically or for your psychology to live in an endless noise, light polluting environment.
- nayuki 4y ago> that population density caused covid, sars, etc to spread I wonder why the USA, with all its fantastic green suburbs and private motor transport, had a much higher COVID case rate and death rate per capita than other countries that have denser urban living?
- xracy 4y agoThere's an ocean of cities that people like between what you're describing and suburbia. What non-US cities do most people like to visit? You can look up suburban fossil fuel usage per capita vs urban fossil fuel usage per-capita just as well as I can.
