Residents of New York City walk more, drive less and leave a significantly smaller carbon footprint than people living anywhere else in the U.S. - even Vermont. Owen talks to TIME about the wastefulness of rural life, the reason local produce isn't environmentally friendly and the one good thing to come out of the 2008-09 recession. (See "The Green Design...
