Wird Veggie-Burger und Tofu-Schnitzel der Garaus gemacht?
Konsumenten greifen heute dank pflanzlicher Alternativen auch zum Steak – ganz ohne Fleisch. Verwirrend für die Verbraucher, sagen manche. Ob Schnitzel und Burger nur noch so heißen dürfen, wenn Tierisches im Spiel ist, entscheiden die EU-Parlamentarier

With the Tram Consultation open, it's time to take a look around the routes at risk.
Looking forward to seeing all kinds of bikes again!

Incredibly pleased to see that the council has officially made the East Area segregated cycle lanes permanent! 🎉
Thank you to @edi.bike, @spokes.org.uk and everybody who spoke up and pushed hard when this crucial infrastructure was under threat.

There's an open consultation on the proposed north–south tram routes in #edinburgh. There are two options: one through an existing park, one on an existing road. Have a look and share your views with the Council!
