Remember this picture, & others like it, every time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."

This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s.

Many of the cities we admire made better choices regarding cars in the past. and are still making better choices today.

Better choices instead of excuses.

How does #depression alter the brain?

New research has that, when given external stimuli, depressed brains process information about how others are feeling in a way that is different to those without depression.
