The massive number of trees lost, the houses torn down and sent to landfill will contribute to climate change. Methane is what is created by construction debris, the most potent greenhouse gas."<br /><br />You could say almost *everything* contributes to climate change one way or the other, but the question is of how much will an action contribute to it. In this case, the tiny amount of methane gas to theoretically deal with the debris from the construction is probably very miniscule compared to all of the pollution if we continue to overly rely on cars for getting around for everything. Density is going to be important for our growing region so that folks will have to rely on cars less. <br /><br />When it comes to climate change, we as a society need to adapt and I believe a part of this development is a part of the necessary adaptation as well as a response to a very swiftly growing region.<br /><br />Tootlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13283734211939751174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-83400066405146856832016-10-04T14:03:36.416-07:002016-10-04T14:03:36.416-07:00This editorial is right on the mark.

Will they even be called neighborhoods after all this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-27044593986921783492016-10-03T23:12:37.934-07:002016-10-03T23:12:37.934-07:00Thank you, Janet Way and S.P.S.!

You've restored my faith in humanity and their ability to attack a problem with critical thinking, risk assessment, and environmental science that doesn't cherry pick statistics and data to serve the purpose of making the wealthy wealthier. So impressed with this community group's ability to discuss strong opinions without packing up their toys and going home. Even more impressed with the diversity of political views who have found a way to come together to work toward protecting their community, without letting our differences divide us. It's "neighborhood association 2.0"... not bound by neighborhood borders or under the supervision of the city and their narrative. Looking forward to watching this group grow as new people move to Shoreline and what this group can accomplish in the future. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
