I thought I was pretty cool until I realized plants can eat the sun and poop out oxygen.

@fordnation You’re such a sad example of someone pretending to have the best interests of Ontarians. I’d say shame on you but you just don’t care… Fuck you, fuck your friends and then let’s circle back to fuck you just for fun.

Every shift away from space-hogging cars—regardless of fuel source—creates new opportunities to vegetate streets and intersections.

De-paving is an effective tool in the fight against climate change; improving carbon absorption, heat mitigation, rain retention, and biodiversity.

While on my way today to cover the Ambassador Bridge trucker protest, I stopped at a truck stop in Woodstock Ontario, where I met Ted McNeill. He had to take a five hour detour to get his truckload of food into Canada. He shared this message to those protesting COVID-19 mandates.

Amazing how Hamilton planners found a way to make it work once their Council voted to keep the boundary, Halton Region needs to similarly direct their planners. #stopsprawlhalton #HaltonLivestream

A bike-lane moved 2.5X as many people as a regular traffic lane in a @TFL study, & given that they are half the width, the study concluded that bike-lanes are 5X as efficient as vehicle traffic lanes. HT @urbanthoughts11

Mobility in cities is about space.

✍️Please take a minute, the mega highway’s impact to the Holland Marsh should be studied properly.

📢This is HUGE! LA (2nd largest US city & home to the largest urban oil field) just voted unanimously to phase out oil drilling and prohibit new wells. Congrats to @STAND_LA @PSRLA @CBECal & frontline groups whose work made this historic victory possible. https://t.co/VpwBZLrbEn

I kid you not. It can be done. Cities all over the globe are doing it, why not us?

23 years ago.

The solution then is the same as the solution now: contain sprawl. Infill housing along transit corridors adds more people to a city without adding cars. Sprawl, on the other hand, adds more cars than people. This is not new. Will we learn?

You can’t stabilize the economy without stabilizing the climate.

Unpaved, plant covered earth is our best protection against extreme weather. It absorbs water and cleans the air. It's a precious resource we cannot afford to throw away on short-term thinking. #stopsprawlhalton #saveourfarmland #tellyourcouncillor

https://t.co/MaPXJ6aiaI News segment regarding urban sprawl in Halton!

[Greenbelt Alliance @GreenbeltAllies]

In the past 35 years, Ontario has lost 2.8 million acres (18%) of its farmland to non-agricultural land uses like urbanization and aggregate mining. It’s an finite and non-renewable resource, when we pave over farmland, we can never get it back. #onpoli https://t.co/tF7ttO6bZZ

[Stopsprawlhalton @Stopsprawlhalt1]

We want to grow too, but let’s preserve our farmland. There is room to grow within our existing boundary! #StopSprawlHalton

Wow! Lawn signs are popping up everywhere!
