This is really important.
The main thing that makes it hard to achieve integrated nature and green in cities isn’t density of buildings or density of people — it's density of cars. And the more well-designed and integrated density of people & buildings you achieve, the fewer cars you need or want.

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Every single time I submit a report about a dangerous street or intersection, the engineer tells me it can't be fixed because that would impact traffic flow or parking.
The City Council recently declared safety as transportation's highest priority, but the engineers still prioritize traffic flow.

We need to do better. San Diego is not progressing on promise for zero traffic deaths.

San Diego has spent $178.9 million on road safety projects over the last five years, but the city's Vision Zero initiative continues to fall short of its goal.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Astonishing advance by the Greens, astonishing implosion of Labour. When will Starmer's government get the message that it is destroying its base with deeply unpopular, rightwing policies?
By chasing Reform, it legitimises the far right while delegitimising itself.

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.
