A special moment this morning! Instead of riding the bus or driving, over 175 of our students and families joined our #BikeBus today to get to school. To make the morning even better, yard signs and posters with positive messages greeted the students as they rode by! 🚲🏡

A new study finds that 78% of ocean microplastic comes from tire dust, largely from rich countries. Electric vehicles will not solve our ecological crisis. They will only prolong trends like this.

All these people claim to be progressive but the minute you talk about reducing parking or building apartments on their block, they lose their minds.

Hate my elected officials who are such screwups. Endless talk about endless communication when a new bike lane is proposed, but you can remove a bike lane in the middle of the night with one hour notice x.com/MassDCR/status/1708955…

Enough! Today, the citizens of Milan blocked intersections at four crucial locations in the city to demand that their voices be heard, and taken into consideration. Let's unite our forces to ensure that Milan becomes a city where no one should fear for their life on the streets.

Hier, avec la journée Paris Respire, notre ville était plus vivante que jamais avec toujours plus de familles, de jeunes et d'enfants dans nos rues ! Une ville plus vivante et pourtant bien moins bruyante avec 53% de bruit en moins, un record ! Ce n'est pas tout ⤵

Brussels went car-free yesterday 😍 Hands up if you'd like to see regular car-free days in more cities across Europe?! 🙋‍♀️

Yesterday was car free Sunday in Brussels - driving banned across the whole city region, except for buses/emergency vehicles/special permits/etc It’s amazing how it immediately creates a festival atmosphere!

This was the summer I sold my car and started BlueBiking around the city. Best decision ever, and one I made only because the new lanes made me feel comfortable and safe. I’m not going to let us go backward!

This fantastic experiment shows that nudges are completely ineffective in changing real-world, daily climate-polluting behavior (driving alone to work). TLDR: Make full costs visible & use both carrots sticks. I'll write more in my March newsletter! hbr.org/2019/12/why-its-so-h…

💨 When you sell a car (even for an EV), your gas car gets re-sold and keeps on polluting and emitting. 🛞 Tires are the worst form of car pollution. They shed microplastics and toxins every day — which kill everything. The only way to end the problems of cars, is to end cars.
