I’ve learned a lot about urbanism from Passeig de Sant Joan (Barcelona) alone. Ample outdoor dining, plants, benches for the public instead of countless car lanes.

Trump’s department of transportation says they will “identify and eliminate Biden era activities that promote climate change activism.”

Great read by @doctorvive.bsky.social in @newrepublic.com on how, actually, we can’t afford NOT to take serious climate action.

I just finished the Open Veins of Latin America, a classic on how LATAM has been exploited by Europe and the US.

Here’s a reminder that driving and fossil fuel infrastructure is the real “government handout,” to the tune of $20 billion/year. (That’s a conservative estimate from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute.)

Food waste in landfills, according to the EPA, generates as much greenhouse gases as 150 MILLION CARS.

Congestion pricing is going to launch in NYC and suburbanites are up an arms they won't be able to drive their death machines and pollute the city without paying a $9 toll.
