Finished reading The Lie of the Land by @thinkorswim.bsky.social this morning.
I'd highly recommend this to anyone trying to wrap their head around the climate crisis, and what Ireland can do to mitigate and adapt to it.
The book does a brilliant job at making the overwhelming understandable.

It's so much easier in Sweden, where it's quick and easy to buy tickets on an app. Tickets are also integrated between bus, rail and tram.
Much better than constantly topping up a physical Leap Card through a faulty app, only to use on an incredibly slow machine on the bus.

Ireland acts like it needs to reinvent the wheel when better solutions already exist.
They should come look at Lund. Abundant cycle infrastructure separated from busy roads, in a city where it's easier to bike than drive.

I love how a 24 hour train ticket to Malmö (same price as return from Lund) includes all buses and trains in both cities.
Makes it so easy to go on a long walk along the beach, take the bus to Ikea for meatballs, and then back to the city centre before my train home to Lund. #Sweden

One of my favourite things about Lund 🇸🇪 is how pleasant it is to walk through the suburbs.
The city has a wide network of cycle/footpaths surrounded by trees and green spaces. There's underpasses under many busy roads, making journeys even safer.
Ireland has a lot to learn. #Lund #Cork

Moving to Sweden recently has really made me realise how backwards Cork is in terms of sustainable travel.
What's discussed as a major (and controversial) greenway project in Ireland is basic and abundant public infrastructure in Lund.
Overgrown gutters should not be tolerated at all.

Delivery to Sweden from @kennysbookshop.bsky.social. Great to support Irish businesses (and learn about what Ireland can do in the climate crisis) even when living abroad. Looking forward to reading @thinkorswim.bsky.social.

Being from one myself (Cork), I always love visiting the second largest cities in different countries.
Today Gothenburg did not disappoint, can highly recommend! #Sweden

Jakriborg, Hjärup. Located on the train line between the Swedish cities of Lund and Malmö, it looks like a historic medieval village. In reality construction began in the 1990s!
A fascinating experiment in urban planning. Do all new neighbourhoods always need to look "new"?
