Do you bike to work? Congratulations! You are among 0.6% of American citizens who bike to work.

You may want to consider it. You might live longer.🚲

Prof @buehler_ralph discusses recent research linking commuting by bike with increased life expectancy. https://t.co/YODLUxgyLj

Well worth a read. @BradZarnett dismisses greening business-as-usual & silver bullet billionaires before outlining his own proposals. You may not agree with all he says, but he refreshingly cuts thro much of the rhetorical nonsense masquerading as argument https://t.co/XdURYtkSnM

In Akron’s North Hill neighborhood, community leaders & residents are striving to find a collective way forward. Planners can be the link, facilitating conversations that lead to a shared-future. We're proud to support the work happening in midsize legacy cities. #PlanningHome

[4 Day Week Foundation @4Day_Week]

As we declare a climate emergency and talk of a Green New Deal accelerates - we must acknowledge the close link between working hours & carbon emissions.

Research by @Autonomy_UK shows we need to work less to become sustainable.

1/ So often, we think that big problems require complex solutions. This is what I call the ‘complexity bias’. People who suffer from this bias have become so ‘educated’ that they don’t see the most obvious and effective solutions anymore.
