Urban Sprawl

Urban sprawl is the reason why America has many different car businesses to choose from, because as Americans, the typical American, we depend on automobiles for transportation. This started when we wanted the American Dream; to live in suburbs and have the "perfect" family. But this required the government to cut down many trees in order to build communities for us. This also meant that the greenfields that we once had, were also turned into built environments. Deforestation resulted in urban sprawl to help us have the American Dream, but having less trees is not a benefit. Looking back at the post labeled "Why?" it was determined that my tree was placed there for the aesthetic value. Although trees were planted in the neigborhoods and towns that were built because of urban sprawl, it is still not enough trees that we need in our environment as a whole to keep up with the biodiversity we need.
