❗#Cycle lanes need much less space than infrastructure for cars
🍃That means less sealed soil, less soil pollution and less water pollution
💰Maintaining and constructing one mile of infrastructure for motorised transport costs about 240 times more than high-quality bike lanes

L.A. Metro's Blue Line (now A Train) was faster 100 years ago. Why? Having the line wait at traffic lights is one reason. We need signal priority for L.A. transit now. lbpost.com/longbeachize/addi…

SUVs are a paradox: while many people buy them to feel safer, they are statistically less safe than regular cars, both for those inside and those outside the vehicle. And in average SUVs have CO2 emissions 14% higher than an equivalent hatchback model.

My article inspired by the #ClimateStrike.
@GretaThunberg is giving us more courage & daring to stand for our position, to express our convictions, to refuse any arrangement with those having interest in the status quo. We are on the right side of history
