Hear that at the back? All. Road. Users.
Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

There is much to criticise about a “build, baby, build” approach, and @georgemonbiot.bsky.social does! But, as always, *children* will be the main losers of more thoughtless, profit-led house-building, both now and into the future. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Home truths: the only thing Labour is building is a bigger, more dysfunctional housing market | George Monbiot
Private developers offer politicians a simple solution for bulldozing through this crisis – build more. But it won’t work, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Don't just write. Read books. Watch films. Look at paintings and sculpture. Play games. Go to plays. Listen to music. Think about how these things make you feel.

I refuse to shut up about this: NYC started charging $9 to bring a car into our most transit-rich zone, the haters & trolls predicted doom, but traffic evaporated instantly and here’s Times Square tonite (even after the holiday tourists have left). For a better future, build transit & price driving!

Planet could 'cease to function' without action to address soil decay
