Post Carbon Fellow Bill Rees was interviewed for this in-depth article in the Canadian newspaper the Vancouver Courier. The article reports on the Vancouver Greenest City Action team and it's new report Quick Start Recommendations for Vancouver (PDF 6Mb).
From the article:
"We're consuming too much, consuming more renewable resources than natural systems are producing," he says, "and we're dumping more waste than natural systems can assimilate."
Although environmental solutions require global cooperation, Rees insists municipalities such as Vancouver bear great responsibility. City hall, he notes, regulates transit and land use through zoning, development and business permits. "We needn't in the Lower Mainland develop another hectare of land," says Rees, who recommends a freeze on greenspace development. "There's plenty of underdeveloped, already serviced land that could be developed in much higher density."
