Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

A cultivated small urban meadow has "a similar value for pollinators as larger areas of natural meadow," the researchers found.

There are quite a few examples of scientists who work specifically on this - eg @fisherdanar.bsky.social, whose most recent book studies social impacts of the climate movement.

This is a great figure. For all the doom & gloom about climate inaction, we have made a big dent over the past 25 years.
What started out as 3.5-4°C increase by 2100 is now down to 2-3°C. Of course, more work is urgently needed but this is progress! We don't let up now. h/t @hausfath.bsky.social
