Many decades of study have now proven that when people live together, they (on average) consume less resources per capita.


One of the strange twists that reality has thrown at us is this...


For decades environmentalists were under the impression that big cities put more strain on the ecosystem then small communities...and while that is true of the "local" environment, it is completely untrue of the ecosystem as a whole. This is all because, when you live in a large city, you tend to live with others...this causes you to pool your resources, and as a result of feeling like you have more...you use less...

Furthermore, large cities tend to offer more services with greater accessibility...such as recycling programs and efficient, and more effective (than small cities at least) waste treatment facilities...also, living costs are higher typically...forcing people to be somewhat more frugal with their resources...and thus encouraging an all around cut in waste production...

The direct meaning of this, is that it is far, far more efficient and evironmentally friendly to live in a large city than in a small commune...directly contrary to popular belief...


The problem is that while small communes put large stress on the overall ecosystem of the earth...they put less stress on the local environment (as I recall)...while on the other hand...large cities put far less stress on the ecosystem of the earth as a whole...and more on the local evironment...


The solution will lie in finding a balancing act wherin we manage to achieve the efficiency of a large city...with the low local impact of a small community...and it will happen...it's just a question of time...and not having enough...
....................................................................................................................................................................................

Put simply: Consider population density, a large city will (per acre), have more people...whereas a small farming community will (per acre) have far less people...what this means is that in a large city more people are living on roughly the same amount of land and are consuming a comprable amount of resources as half the number of people in sprawled out farming communities...

It may look worse in a city...but the land and resources are being utilized more efficiently, and waste is handled more effectively...after all...you're far more likely to find a couch on the side of the road in a farming community than you are in a city...

Also...for the record...it says I should die at the age of 50.2

Probably because I'm a broke dude living with family...which means we live more efficiently...

way too much to read usul, i skimmed the first 5 or 10 words though

Says it supports me for my natural life, so that's fine.
I actually had less than -3.0

Apparently, I'm on death's doorstep.

Hrm.. my parents expenditure kills me, if I include them.

good question jack, maybe some faults in the test
