Unregulated scrapyards and auto repair lots are plaguing Detroit residents.

This is one hell of a story from @SarahRahal_ with some staggering graphics illustrating the scope of the problem.

1/ Let's talk about the excellent $27M SAFE ACCESS TO TRANSIT program of 56 projects targeting intersections with transit stops and a history of fatalities/serious injury and bicycle/pedestrian crashes.

[Dave @DE_Gifford]

So many good nuggets in this piece about Detroit's long history with public transit. 🧵
"Dan Gilbert recently declared that the Detroit area needs a regional rapid transit system. Of course, he is right. It should have been built a century ago." 1/

We are so blinded by car profits in Michigan that we fail to see that the production of cars, driving of cars & building infrastructure for cars are all major factors causing climate change & flooding. Bigger highway pumps are not the answer. More highway lanes aren't helping.

The CDC has extended the eviction moratorium but STILL has not acted to put a moratorium on water shutoffs. Michigan’s COVID rates are rising and the water shutoff moratorium just ended.

We need federal action!

Just past 6am on this day 2 of electing a US President, and in Detroit a new shift of workers cheers for motivation before they continue the process of counting absentee ballots in the city. Michigan has yet to be decided. #ElectionDay

The circular economy doesn’t aim to end growth; it aims to bend how we do things back into harmony with nature, so that growth can continue.

Climate Change Is Water Change.

[Ellen MacArthur Foundation @circulareconomy]

The current - linear - economic system is no longer working for businesses, people or the environment: we take resources from the ground to make products, which we use and, when we no longer want them, throw them away. Take-make-waste.

What if we designed a #circulareconomy?
