Have you ever sat in total silence and just absorbed the whispers of the natural world? I highly recommend canoeing the Tea Lakes of Algonquin Prov. Park in Ontario. The inner peace we often lose in our lives is waiting for you, wrapped up in sunset-colored ribbon. #GoOutside

Hi Everyone. I’m on a restorative hike in the desert these next few days but I’m preparing to make this space my new online home for discussions on sustainability, transportation, conservation, and mental wellness. #GoOutside today - bring a friend! 🌵

New episode up! We rode the bike lanes of Emeryville, California, with the city's mayor, John Bauters. He told us what elected officials really need to build an active transportation network: "I think political will is probably the biggest barrier." thewaroncars.org/2023/11/07/1...
