Summary: Phoenix can have a green future, argues Andrew Ross, author of Bird on Fire: Lessons from the World's Least Sustainable City. The national conversation focuses too often on sustainability in the wealthiest cities that have infrastructure already in place. But America can't afford to focus just on these places. The answers lie in trying to make the entire city of Phoenix sustainable--not just the wealthy parts--and focusing on problems like urban sprawl and water supplies in a desert city.
