Of course, you should drink water, but put it in a glass or metal container. A new study finds that bottled water consumers ingest up to 90,000 more plastic particles each year than tap water consumers, resulting in "chronic toxicity."

Big fan of this work from @sustainableyyc.bsky.social. In a year of policy and politics and budgets, "safe streets for our kids" is very top of mind for me.
Sustainable Calgary's Executive Director, @celiaravenlee.bsky.social speaks about our work with kids to make healthier, safer communities. With your help we can turn prototype projects into best practices to make school streets safer across Calgary!

NEW: 1km of Montreal’s Ste-Catherine Street will become permanently “pedestrian only” (less than perfect term since it will be a people-place for a LOT more than walking). 225+ new trees, vegetation-covered pits for rain drainage, more seating, illuminated canopy, financial help for businesses, etc.
Stretch of Ste-Catherine Street East to become pedestrian-only year-round | CBC News
The City of Montreal announced Friday their "ambitious" plans to transform a portion of Ste-Catherine Street East into a pedestrian road year-round, with redevelopment work starting in fall 2026.

PARIS: 65% of trips in Paris are already walking trips, and that’s growing by design. Over 300 million € will have been invested by 2026. 230ha of streets & squares are already pedestrianized. Over 200 “school streets” have been closed to cars and turned into new “pedestrian hearts.” Via @paris.fr
