And that presents an opportunity for us to do things better for the environment and the health of our communities. People in Canada are big consumers. We buy a lot and throw away more per person than the people of any other country.

The 1950s has been called the decade of the American Dream. The United States economy grew by 37 percent, and homeownership surged as suburban housesequipped with their white picket fences sold like hotcakes. But this American Dream has come at a steep cost. Lets fast forward to today; more than half a century of government housing policy favoring sprawling, car-dependent development has spawned long commutes, increased exposure to air pollution, and segregated communities.
