Don't let the opposition discourage you, get involved and get even. Your city certainly has a transit advocacy group or three. Cleveland Ohio, of all places, is investing heavily in public transit, so your city has no excuse!

I mean, there are car builder kits.

The DIY urban transportation community has settled on an even more portable solution called the "e-bike." It can tow a trailer of cargo or small kids, and makes city parking much easier.

Cycling, riding scooters, and walking outdoors are still fine, though. And requiring masks while riding transit was fairly effective. We need much stronger enforcement of masking and not riding with symptoms, though, in future pandemics.

Your personal multi-ton box degrades the environment, globally and on the streets it drives through, even if pollutes less by using electricity.

In the next 5-10 years, we may see mass migrations begin as a few locations become too hot to bear, and corrupt religious authorities seeking power will pin the more hostile climate on recent social changes rather than the actual immorality of corporate greed. This sets the stage for tensions over land and resources to escalate into wars and civil violence in later years.

There is no better time for action than now! Climate Changemakers is a low-commitment way to get involved, if you're in America.

But the mayor of Padua, Sergio Giordani, is defying the government’s orders and continuing to issue birth certificates recognizing two-mom families.

God bless this man. May the rest of Italy be so bold!

Why not both? I'm happy to avoid buying Amazon (do I really need to avoid walking to the store?) while advocating for crackdowns on them.

Genuine question: Do you think there's more fear in 1) people who refuse to acknowledge reality because doing so requires questioning their lifestyle, or 2) people willing to confront environmental threats?
