Freaked out w pace of climate change. Follow as ride across USA & talk w ppl about how climate is changing in their lives. Riding into the wind? Pls RT
So why do this ride? Many reasons: bucket list want to do since teens, still got health, remind of where came from (small IL town, KS parents) & talk about climate change & transportation. In US & other indust economies trans @ 40% CO2 emissions w private vehicles @ 70% of that.
@DUUUVALinPNW @bostonaruban ? More confusion from the metal box crew: 1) majority cyclists own cars just use them less; 2) car taxes only pay for state to run RMV; 3) roads paid f out of general taxes (sales & income) that everyone pays. Stop listening to Howie - his brains were scrambled long time ago.
@crschmidt@bostonaruban Well, yes, but lessor cars would help too. Why the F are people driving monster mash mobiles? America has a really bad case of windshield bias.
9 years ago today we lost the great Mayor Menino. One of my favorite memories of him was writing a letter inviting Mayor Menino to my 8th grade graduation at the Hurley. He responded himself with a letter, and actually showed up to the graduation with no staff, and gave me a shoutout in his speech. His style of leadership and his love for this city is the reason why I’m now running my self for his old District 5 seat.
Thank you, Mayor Menino.
@maura_healey @speakermariano @KarenSpilka At legislative hearing on clean air waiting outside state house when grounds crew arrives w leaf blower. Is it really necessary to blow away a few leaves while endangering our planet? @MothersOutFront@350ma
Sigh; what will it take to turn on the bus cameras & ticket these violations? More than 60 ppl on the bus delayed during peak rush hour. @RonMariano@maura_healey@MBTA
