“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”
Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life.
Common sense.
Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

This is what a "ceasefire" is for Israel. The only real, lasting ceasefire is the total dismantling of an apartheid, genocidal state whose existence has always and will always rely on the wholesale slaughter and dehumanization of Palestinians
The Israeli army has resumed random shelling and airstrikes against Palestinians in Gaza, marking the latest Israeli attempt to sabotage the ceasefire following Netanyahu's violation of the agreement by stopping the flow of humanitarian aid.
