I’ve long harped on the fact that changing land use policies is central to curbing emissions. We simply can’t cut greenhouse gases substantially without changing our living, traveling, and commuting patterns.

There’s no easy pill we can swallow to fix global warming. It’s little bureaucratic changes like this, which will have big impacts in how we live, that will make the difference.
