I personally hate cars and what they did to me and to the nation as a whole. We've paved over paradise for their benefit.
That's a good reason. I was thinking "especially in Alaska" but then I realized that pre-auto Michigan was as wild as Alaska still is. The damage to our environment--and I'm not even talking about pollution or GHGs--is hard to imagine because we've become so accustomed to it. Half or more of our inhabited areas are paved over strictly for the convenience of cars. There's definitely something wrong with that picture. Cars = visual pollution, olfactory pollution and sound polution.
