New research found that Instacart is charging shoppers different prices — despite ordering the same items from the same store at the same time.
The price differences could amount to an extra $1,200 a year for the average household of four.
Corporate greed is out of control.

Really excited that Time Magazine excerpted my chapter highlighting the vital role of women in climate leadership — especially in a time of so much “green hushing.” It’s courageous women who are standing up, speaking out, and moving climate action forward.

GOOD THREAD: One more consequence of too many parked cars in cities (and one more reason to replace surface parking with trees and people-places).
All those parked cars are making hot cities even hotter.

Bad news for cities. 🚨
Cars are parked 95% of the time, eating up valuable street space.
Now, new research from Lisbon shows parked cars are also intensifying urban heat: by as much as +3.8°C. 🌡️

Are the security measures unfriendly? Yes. Is City Hall a public building? Yes. Do I pretty much hate it? Yes. But what I hate more is men categorically telling all of us what safety is, how safety feels, and who is and isn’t safe.
