From an op-ed which ran in the Boston Globe last week:
“The connection between higher density living and less energy use is strong. Urban farms mean less people per acre which in turn means longer drives and more gasoline consumption. Shipping food is just far less energy intensive than moving people. If the First Lady wants to help the environment, she should campaign for high-rise apartments, rather than plant vegetables.”
