Yet some of you still go to great lengths to rationalize your presence on X. At some point, you must ask yourself how poorly this reflects on your values and priorities.

Like smoking a cigarette, driving a giant SUV/pickup endangers anyone nearby.

The narrative power of secondhand smoke galvanized the anti-tobacco movement in the 1980s – and it could do the same for car bloat today.

Gigantic SUVs are a public health threat. Why don’t we treat them like one?
The anti-tobacco playbook could help turn the US public against their beloved oversized cars.

Imagine a city where you don’t have to calculate the risk of crossing a street or plan your route around dangerous traffic. A place where mobility is effortless for all ages, where people, not cars, are the priority, and the freedom to move safely is just a part of everyday life.

“Every $1,300 New York invested in building bike-lanes in 2015 provided benefits equivalent to 1 additional year of life at full health over the lifetime of all city residents, according to a new economic assessment.”

Bike-lanes are a sound public health investment.

Trucks have been getting bigger, more energy & space consuming, more polluting, and much deadlier to everyone around them including kids. Not because most of us actually need bigger vehicles, but as ego boosts, status symbols & “indicators of male virility.” Note the truck bed is basically the same.

Meanwhile, in the US….
I spent days digging into the public statements of every single Trump Cabinet pick to see what they've said about climate change and it was a horrible process but I did it because Journalism Is Important and climate change is actually real so please click it I beg you heated.world/p/trumps-ent...
Trump's entire Cabinet misrepresents climate change
I analyzed the public statements of each nominee. It was awful. (Though Matt Gaetz was surprising?)
