Why Donβt People Return Their Shopping Carts? A (Somewhat) Scientific Investigation - by Hannah B. Waldfogel - Behavioral Scientist
For reasons I canβt fully explain, peopleβs failure to return their carts bothers me more than it probably should. But then I realized I can do something about it.

21% of UK employees are commuting more this year and "40% of drivers have no alternative to the car [...] For those living in rural locations the figure increases to 70%."
Only a third said the bus was a viable option for them. Not good news for people & planet :( #commuting #carDependency

Thanks for highlighting this overlooked source of emissions. It makes me wonder - what behaviours could dog ownership be substituting? With the speculated link between low fertility rates and rising pet ownership, the carbon cost of a pet still seems lower than that of having a child

New study from Melbourne finds reducing residential speed limits from 50km/h to 30 km/h on local roads would protect cyclists from danger, make riding less stressful and get more people cycling while not causing traffic delays for cars.
Switching 50km/h speed limits to 30km/h would protect cyclists while barely affecting commutes, research finds
One expert says a cyclist hit by a car travelling 50km/h has about a one-in-ten chance of surviving, while at 30km/h it was a nine-in-ten chance
