Is there a connection between the chemicals and emissions found in suburban areas and disease?  Could chemicals and contaminants in our daily living in or near a big city be contributing to a lack of wellness?  

Well, according to author and environmentalist Thomas Fenaughty, there is.  Listen as he discusses “Suburban Sprawl” and the myths of the “Healthy Suburban Lifestyle.” He offers innovative engineering solutions based on the idea of a self-sustaining “ship.”

Thomas is a nurse and public health advocate who welcomes the ideas of farmers, engineers, healers, and others who care about health and the environment.  He is the author of the book “How to Stop Suburbia from Killing America! A Primer.” Thomas is also the founder of the Coalition Rethinking Cities – an educational research non-profit organization dedicated to building the first “City Ship.” Info: RethinkingCities.org.
