My Best Wishes & Congratulations to @UNEP on the 50th anniversary of #WorldEnvironmentDay, a five-decade long campaign that has significantly changed Humanity’s perspective about the Environment. May our focus now shift towards ensuring that the awareness & educational efforts of the past 50 years translate to on-ground Action in the form of sustainable policy changes globally. This is a Responsibility we cannot fail in. May every Nation participate in manifesting the Vision of One Earth, One Family, One Future. Let’s make it happen. -Sg

@nicholasroche Unfortunately not many truly appreciate athletic prowess @giroditalia unfolded beautifully against a backdrop of nature’s response to human folly. A slow boil became a thrilling final four days capped by GC reversal and a masterful win by @MarkCavendish
https://t.co/QWx0HLdQkp via @NYTimes A unparalleled inspiration and North Star for me as an actor and maker who will continue to stoke my curiosity. All criticism granted; a giant of theatre and humanity.
Congratulations & immense Gratitude to Team Isha worldwide who came together with incredible dedication & purpose to pull off the Movement of our times- #SaveSoil. I beseech all concerned to keep the throttle up till soil regeneration policies are done in your regions. -Sg
One thing about sharrows that bugs the shit out of me—are there standards or best practices on where to put them? Here in LA they're often on the edge of the door zone on parking-heavy streets. Or they're in the middle of the lane on uphill stretches. The placement seems random.
The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.
Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it.

When sporting greats fade, you question whether the standards have increased, whether that athlete would have won in the modern era, even at their peak.
Mark Cavendish has now beaten three generations of the best sprinters, on the biggest stage. No more questions needed.
Share the Road signs are dumb. Sharrows are even dumber. Drivers don't understand them and they do a poor job of articulating simple rules. The sign below is WAY better. But ask yourself: Why do drivers who obsess over naughty riders need signs that just articulate existing law?
A global pandemic, further unmasking racial and economic injustice offer opportunities to reimagine "normal." Here's another: A Push to Return U.K.’s ‘Motor City’ to Its Cycling Roots https://t.co/Qe6S2jrI2e
If these kinds of actions are the side effects we can expect from contracting COVID-19, perhaps we can wish it upon the dunce in the WH in good faith as a public good.
UK govt unveils $2.6B plan to build thousands of miles of protected bike lanes. Boris Johnson: “Now is the time to press ahead with our biggest and boldest plans yet to boost active travel, so that everyone can feel the transformative benefits of cycling.”
