The proposed new facility for 27 private jets at Massport's Hansom Field should serve as a testbed for these technologies. Otherwise, because of the climate impact, travel by private jet will remain the single most irresponsible thing a person can do. https://t.co/Bjx31TejTq
Here’s a challenging question — What’s a REALLY SMART PUBLIC POLICY DECISION OR PROGRAM you’ve seen a city make, that actually resulted in a more livable, equitable, healthy and/or sustainable city for people? Share enough details for everyone to understand your choice. Thanks!
Trails that are well maintained are inherently more inclusive – inviting folks of a greater range of abilities and comfort levels.
And trails connecting towns provides another more joyful way to commute!
Big THANKS to Bill for keeping Concord’s Reformatory Branch Trail in good condition all year round.
Those leaves and branches that fall on the trail and clog drainage ditches do not clear themselves people!

We need to do better than fixed period time of use rates. Dynamic, cost-reflective rates &/or super discounted automated load management programs are needed to unlock real economics of electrification + avoid billions in wasted/poorly utilized capital investment in grid capacity.
"Blowing just one hour’s worth of leaves with a gas-powered machine produces about as many smog-forming chemicals as driving 1,100 miles in a Toyota Camry." Companies making lawn equipment shipped 38 million tools last year; half were electric powered.

Remember this one? Before & after of a brain after a 20 minute walk — why walking to work, or school, or just to get the intellectual juices flowing, is linked to better creative & intellectual performance. Among MANY other benefits to you and to society.

Great piece by @robinsonmeyer on how the passage of the IRA may change everything: "The fight against climate change is going to change more in the next four years than it has in the past 40. The great story of our lives is just beginning. Welcome aboard." https://t.co/cRYHUwhxGA
How do I convey the value of building safe, separated transportation infrastructure that supports people of all ages & abilities?
Perhaps a love letter to our local multi-use paths?

Ready or not! We are on a 10 day countdown to the first day of school. We are going to count them down with 10 great things about the coming year! Here is the first! This year, we will put our third electric school bus on the road! @TownofConcordMA
