This moving of facilities away impoverishes your life, as you spend longer behind the wheel. Our movements are channeled along ever restricted paths, we have more and more roads to cross and they are ever more busy, smelly, unpleasant and dangerous. The final irony is that you can gain no satisfaction from all the space that is being generously turned over to your use. You must hate cars even more than we do. Rape of the planet 1 Cars consume vast amounts of raw materials.
Mining ores carves great open cast scars in the landscape.
Cars use a third of world's oil. Two thirds of cars are in G7 countries. 3 Cars create so much waste. Thousands of used tyres are dumped at sea, the rest accumulate in massive dumps. Millions of use batteries leak in toxic waste dumps.
