I live in what is often referred to as one of the greener cities in the US. I would argue that the people of B-town have one of the higher carbon footprints per capita of anywhere else in the US. Sure, we are pseudo-environmentally friendly, but we consume more eco-products then the average person. Consumption is consumption.
We also have the problem of scrap-offs. Nice, old, houses are being scrapped and giant 5000+ square foot houses are going up. Of course, there is a Prius in the garage.
