Eco Cycle

Automated #CycleParking storing 204 #bikes in buildings or in the public realm. Superior security; minimal footprint; unparalleled convenience.

Just ridiculous to destroy millions of trees that soak up #carbon, & take decades to be regrown. Wood pellets emit 150% more emissions than coal per kw generated. If carbon capture at the stack is feasible, then burn #coal, not #wood. https://t.co/TfBfOHQwj3

@christianwolmar What business case? There isn’t one. What’s the anticipated ticket / fare price? Will it only be afforded as a business travel service?

[Eco Cycle @ecocycleuk]

@darwent_charles So @ZacGoldsmith the U.K. plans to plant 30,000 hectares of trees a year FROM 2030…. When just the Drax power station CURRENTLY consumes 203,000 hectares of trees a year…

[Eco Cycle @ecocycleuk]

@darwent_charles Essentially this one power station is burning trees covering the area of Surrey (1,920 Sq km) each year, to power just 4m homes.

[Eco Cycle @ecocycleuk]

@darwent_charles Ridiculous situation. How is burning 25m trees pa to power 4m homes sustainable? Cutting down carbon soaking trees, that’ll take 20++ years to be replaced. Coals better as more energy dense & mined within the earth - trees on surface are finite. Just capture coal emissions!!

@peterproperty Can’t read the article. Simplest & cheapest (financial & environmental, as should be a crime to waste good cladding materials) way to solve this, is install heat sensors in high rise buildings cavities. That would’ve detected the Grenfell fire when firemen couldn’t.

[Eco Cycle @ecocycleuk]

@Andrew_Adonis Surely you should be asking, why 30% of those asked don’t have any idea or opinion?

Crazy. Just don’t buy a new car every 3 years? Volvo Says Manufacturing An Electric Car Generates 70 Percent More Emissions Than Its ICE Equivalent | Carscoops https://t.co/UhTPdLu6dR

@mark_lynas @ZacGoldsmith It’s a step in the right direction, but will mean the likes of #Bolsonaro will accelerate cutting down the #Amazon. At equivalent of 30 football pitches a minute being destroyed, that’s 4,204,800 pitches in 8 years. Unimaginable. But well done. 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

[Eco Cycle @ecocycleuk]

@ZacGoldsmith Wonderful. So the likes of #Bolsonaro has 8 years to accelerate the Amazon’s destruction? The note states the equivalent of 30 football pitches of forest are destroyed each minute. In 8 years that’s 4,204,800 pitches… Good work. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[Eco Cycle @ecocycleuk]

@BorisJohnson @ZacGoldsmith @COP26 Oh please… a target date 8 years away, will ensure the likes of #Bolsonaro of #Brazil will accelerate chopping down the #Amazon. The forest, nor we, will not be able to tolerate such destruction of the eco system, habitat, & indigenous peoples.

[Eco Cycle @ecocycleuk]

@ZacGoldsmith Is the plan to lock up Bolsonaro?

[Eco Cycle @ecocycleuk]

@copenhenken @marksuttonbike @EuCyclistsFed @WCA_cycling @Chris_Boardman @theJeremyVine @UNWTO @WRIRossCities @BaldwinMatthew_ @SLOCATOfficial @TUMInitiative @BYCS_org Great to see the @FinancialTimes is cottoning on… however, the need for promotion of cycling isn’t a new one. The need to make it more attractive relative to vehicles, including EVs, is huge & urgent, & relatively low cap too. So why is Gov not doing more?

[Eco Cycle @ecocycleuk]

@MarinaKim_ Yep…!

[Eco Cycle @ecocycleuk]

@MarinaKim_ Unbelievable…. on all accounts…

[Eco Cycle @ecocycleuk]

@ZacGoldsmith Best thing anyone could do for the planet, is to put #Bolsonaro in a dark room. And keep him there. Until he becomes green.

[Eco Cycle @ecocycleuk]

@CampanaleMark @DonnachadhMc Rather daft comment. You drink from the metal can that coal smelted. You drink from the plastic bottle that oil produced. You avoided a chill from the gas you willingly burned. Leaders need do more constructive things. Like hold #Bolsonaro to account & stop the Amazon destruction

[Eco Cycle @ecocycleuk]

@Feargal_Sharkey Don’t just campaign against sewage dumping - come up with a viable solution!!! Such as anaerobic digestion plants, that can turn our sewage into energy - a double whammy solution… who’d have thought!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Eco Cycle @ecocycleuk]

@RHarrabin @Greenpeace All well and good to dismiss everything out of hand… but right now surely it’d be more constructive for Greenpeace to offer some viable solutions?
