“The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these qualities have little to do with success as we have defined it.”
— David Orr
Pedal through any Dutch city, and it feels like it’s always been filled with red cycle paths. But the fact is none of this cycling infrastructure existed before 1975, when a trial project in Tilburg set a national standard for legibility, comfort and status for people on bikes.🧵
It's worth knowing just about 9 out of 10 people globally want more climate action.
This is drowned out by propaganda from the fossil fuel industry and their paid shills.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor Anne Hidalgo’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.
Good trade.
If you want to know where we're at - the President of #COP29 used his speech to talk about proud history of oil drilling in Azerbaijan & refers to oil & gas as a “gift of the gods” at the opening of the CLIMATE SUMMIT!!
Time to end fossil fuels. #ActOnClimate#climate#energy
Portugal shut down their last remaining coal fired power plant and is fostering a renewable energy revolution. They could be completely renewable by 2040 if not sooner. It can be done.
We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate#climate#energy#renewables#go100re
