Bloomington Transportation Options for People founder Buff Brown joins us in the studio to talk about car culture as a liability to the environment and points to cities like Portland, Oregon as successful examples of eco-friendly transportation policy that still puts people first. Brown promotes "new urbanism" theories of city planning that embrace biking and walking.
