“Nearly 2,000 children under five are dying every day from air pollution, which has overtaken poor sanitation and a lack of clean water to become the second biggest health risk factor for young children around the world.” https://t.co/z2ohZetxJ8

@ClaytonnManning @ernest_mat54273 @BaseballAmerica @Dodgers The families were kicked out by the City to build a public housing project that then got killed by the real estate industry before it could be built. There's a great book Stealing Home by Eric Nusbaum that tells the whole story

Fossil Fuels: Sun → Photosynthesis → Plants → Decay over millions of years → Drill → Transport → Refine → Transport → Burn → Energy

Solar Energy: Sun → Solar Panel → Energy

@JaimeArtAlonso @alisoneroman Anything non-magnetic doesn't work - find any small magnet and you can use it test out your stuff. Cast iron works awesome

@skycedar Southern California Edison has one that was approved recently through the Low Carbon Fuel Standard program for folks installing EV chargers

Police killed at least 1,054 people through November 27, 2022. Police are killing people at higher rates in 2022 than *any year on record* in the United States. https://t.co/0VQVssyYOK

A car costs upwards of $8,500 a year to operate, most of which goes to automakers, banks, insurance companies, and petro states. Cities that enable car-free life can keep more of their wealth in the local economy.

On January 1st, 2021, Brussels introduced a 30 km/h (18 mph) citywide speed limit.

Within one year, overall speeds decreased 9%, collisions 22%, fatalities 50%, and traffic noise up to 50% (depending on the surface).

Journey times by car were identical or even slightly shorter.

@itsthelee @akronisticlotor @bluepupboi @bgould4berkeley Thanks for your organizing around this project!

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

This is as telling and wrenching five minutes of video about the climate crisis as I've ever seen--and it does not shy away from assigning blame, and the need for 'reparations,' to the global north. Thank you @clarissaward and @CNN

Manchin can't stop your town from becoming a walking and biking paradise filled with affordable housing and where oil-powered cars are rarely used.

Your Mayor & city council can make that happen by changing housing & road use policies. Talk to them.
