That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power.

Violence is too often sloppy; it spills over. Misogynists kill a lot of men, racists kill white people, ICE in its attacks on immigrants and anyone who looks like them just killed a white US citizen. When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail; when you're a gun everyone is a target.

@joellightbound.bsky.social How about this for Canada Post? Trucks are still needed for some areas of course, but there's a lot of city distances that could be better covered by micro electric vehicles -- including e-cargo bikes. Yes, even in Canadian winters.
⚡📮Nice work @royal-mail.bsky.social, who have just announced the launch of a new fleet of over 100 micro electric vehicles, replacing 52 vans.
Better for the climate and for deliveries. This is exactly the kind of move we need to see for cities free of diesel vans!

Climate change is already reducing CO2 absorption by forests, meaning that our emissions so far are now making it harder to reduce emissions. The only way out is to redouble our efforts.

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people.
