It's depressing to live in a city that has given up. I visited the R.C. Harris water treatment plant today, and it is immaculate and stunning. Every detail thoughtfully and beautifully designed, and looking as good today as when it was built. How far we have fallen. urbantoronto.ca/news/2023/06...

Simple neuroscience-based hack for anxiety:
🌿go & be in a place with plants & trees for 15 mins
🌳You'll inhale plant oils(phytoncides) from foliage
📉your stress hormone(cortisol) will drop significantly

Toronto and the TTC could apply this concept to one or more routes in Scarborough. Offset longer travel times due to the loss of the RT with no cost transit for affected residents.

It's about the journey, not the destination. Glad to see I'm not the only one who enjoys doing this.
