Urban sprawl equally troubles regional towns and cities worsening emissions

U

Sometimes it feels like this even in
 relatively tiny Shepparton.

That same sprawl produces much of the carbon dioxide simply because those towns and cities are inefficient and force people into carbon-rich lifestyles.

Generally, the infrastructure is such that people have little option but to use their carbon dioxide producing cars for almost everything.
