In the US, there may be up to 2 billion parking places. That’s more than six spaces for every registered car. That’s an area of land the size of Connecticut and Vermont combined. Making cities hotter, floods worse, accommodation more expensive and killing life. Land use impacts climate. A forest is infinitely better for our environment than a car park. We are paving ourselves to extinction.
