More cars = less friends. 🚙🚕🚓🚗

People living on streets with heavy traffic do have less friends and less acquaintances on average.

Planting trees is great, but it's not a silver bullet for climate change. The article suggests that planting a trillion trees would only prevent 0.15 degrees Celsius of warming by 2100 - as per @climateinteract & @MITSloanSusty

[Maxine Joselow @maxinejoselow]

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy & other Republicans have called for planting a trillion trees to fight climate change.

But new research by @climateinteract @AndrewPJones @MITSloanSusty finds it would barely make a dent in global temperatures by 2100. https://t.co/7iW33dl1ii

These are @theCCCuk recommendations on land use change.

The 30,000 ha per yr tree planting targets originate in this document.

We aren’t even doing half that.

Wood has a unique carbon storage capability not found in other materials. It offers a natural and immediate way to reduce carbon emissions and transform our built environment into carbon sinks. Wood typically contains around 50% carbon by dry weight. https://t.co/R24FRF3bZ6

#CLT - A game-changer for earthquake zones! 🌍 CLT's flexibility and energy absorption make it an exceptional damper during seismic events. According to experts, CLT "massively outperforms" concrete and steel in earthquake resilience.https://t.co/ztqn3ECgzJ via @YouTube

The abundant presence of wood invokes a connection to nature and our evolutionary roots. Research shows living and working in wooden structures enhances concentration and promotes better sleep. More at: https://t.co/r9IQVAo0n7

🌍 The world's building stock set to double by 2060, adding a New York City every month for 40 years! Great for concrete producers, but the climate impact is concerning. Cement, a major CO2 emitter, needs sustainable solutions for a greener future.

Lots of talk on social housing after Albo’s announcement

Bottom line. If you look at where *the best* housing is being built globally - Vienna, Zurich, Singapore, Spain, Brussels - they all have aggressive social housing plans.

Means private sector has to improve to compete.
