Global warming. Tax inflation. Health care reforms. The war in Iraq. These threats are what come to any American’s mind when thinking of our nation’s most prominent dilemmas.

The main cause of our suburb’s gradual disappearance seems to be for a number of reasons: the increase in oil prices, our CO2 emissions, and our reliance on automobiles and appliances. Americans are facing an unsustainable environment resulting in the evaporation of the comfortable living style that is commonly found in suburbia.
