One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrianization pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

It’s mid February. That means 150,000 individual human beings have died from tuberculosis this year on our shared planet. A disease that is curable. These people were killed by inequality.

Seymour is almost certainly making this bizarre Prince Andrew reference to flex on everyone that the pedophilia & sexual abuse that has been *proven* about members & leaders of ACT has gone completely un-interrogated by NZ media in any effective way

Media are both complicit & the butt of his joke

Poop is in the air, everywhere we look around
Poop is in the air, every night and every land
And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being woke
But is something that National believes in
And it's there when poop gets in your eyes
We cancelled 3 waters and not only is there poop in the marine reserve it’s in the bloody air.

🍃A big day today as Tir Natur, Wales' biggest (and only large) rewilding project is live. I've been critical of some rewilding projects in the past, and will continue to be where I see a need.

I'm going to try and explain why I've been volunteering to help this project, and why it's important (1/N)

At this rate, how long is it before climate change pushes Aotearoa into a constant State of Emergency?

At what point does recovery become impossible?

Tragically I think 11 people have already died in Aotearoa this year because of extreme weather. We need to reduce our emissions and invest in climate adaptation with urgency. But naturally, this government is instead pursuing coal mines and an LNG terminal. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/weather-l...

They have replaced three waters with three poos: in our streets, in our water and in the air that we breathe.
