When it comes to living a green life, the phrase “sustainable suburbs” seems like quite the oxymoron. In fact, a quick Google search shows that not too many people seem interested in sustaining their suburbs.
I, like millions of other people, live in the ‘burbs. We do so for a variety of reasons, mainly because housing is still somewhat “cheap” out here compared to the city. My husband also happens to work in our ‘burb, keeping his travel distance down to a minimum. Before moving to our town, it wasn’t uncommon for it to take him near an hour to get home from work.
Both time and gas wasted, that’s for sure.
Since becoming interested in living green and living simple, I can’t help but notice the waste going on around me. Waste of money, waste of resources…the list goes on and on. That’s why I’ve decided to do something about it.
I am going to do my best to make sustainable suburbs anything but an oxymoron.
