We need to be honest on climate movement. We are failing.
- The temperature keeps rising.
- True problem is structural, NOT individual behavior!
- Industry has masterfully marketed individual's fault.
- Collective civic action to change policy
- Say pollution, not emissions

Five things cities need to survive EXTREME HEAT:
1. Stop cities from absorbing so much heat
2. Plant smarter — not just more
3. Treat climate shelters as city-wide network
4. Break down silos & managed holistically
5. Put thermal justice at the center

To call them anything less is GASLIGHTING on behalf of pedophilia.

Keeping the population uneducated lead to what we’re seeing unfolding in the south. It is definitely working conditions leading to this shortage and yet we keep cutting staff and support for teachers to be able to their job + no accountability from parents in regards to behaviour/entitlement issues.

In 2024, Paris banned cars from its city center to make room for cyclists and pedestrians with remarkable pollution reduction as a result. Earlier this year, Parisians voted to create even more car-free zones in the city.
