In 2016, the Clean Power Plan set the first federal limits on power plant emissions🪴
Though challenged in courts, it sparked local and state action. California and New York doubled down on clean energy, showing how community pressure drives progress when federal policy stalls #Cities #ClimatePolicy

This is the sort of urban design we need! Design that prioritizes sustainable transport such as walking and biking will help us lower our transport emissions.🚶

Pedestrian spaces look great, they build a center for the community to rally around, and they save our cities valuable tax dollars. If we want to build better cities, then we should be focusing not just on big sweeping projects. But the smaller ones that create an impact too!

Exactly, we need cities to support biking infrastructure! That’s why Montreal’s biking system incorporates snow removal, allowing people to bike all winter long 🚲

#cities #biking #transit #climatepolicy #climateaction #sustainability
fall and winter are the most obvious months to tell if your city cares about people walking or biking

Car lanes will be cleared of any snow or leaf litter almost immediately

While sidewalks and bike lanes will be full of snow and leaf litter for days
