Twice as many children die in car crashes than from all pediatric cancers combined. This does not count the long term health effects of breathing exhaust, brake and tire particles or the loss of physical activity and independence from living in a world hostile to traveling outside of a car.

A Woonerf in the Netherlands. Through motor traffic is redirected to main roads. Greenery & street furniture (including a small playground) is strategically placed to ensure motor traffic keeps to slow speeds, with paving used & roadway raised at junctions, where collisions are most likely to occur

Hybrids have always been a favourite of centrists / go-slow types.
The orange bars are what car companies claimed their emissions intensity was, and the blue bars are what their actual, real-world emissions intensity is.

A very clear response from London Fire Commissioner, Andy Rowe to a question at Fire Plenary last week from Emma Best AM about the impact of LTNs on fire brigade attendance times.
"We genuinely couldn't find any evidence of LTNs doing anything to our overall attendance times".

Latest emissions data has been released, showing a slight overall reduction in PM2.5 levels from domestic combustion.
However, if you live next to a wood burning household, an overall reduction means nothing because you're living in an #AirPollution hotspot. #WoodBurning www.gov.uk/government/s...

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️
Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Women carry luggage and accompany people, more often on public transport and by foot. The car is less often the default solution.

There are differences in how men and women see mobility - this is why that's important
Understanding women's experiences of using a male-oriented mobility system can help improve it for everyone. Here's a guide
