@leedscitycouncil.bsky.social can we have a meaningful conversation about #mowing regimes in the middle of heatwaves? Does grass need to be mown to oblivion? Set mowing heights higher? Can you leave more wildflower areas with longer grass (lower temps, more diversity)? Dead grass = fire hazard

Some good news. Air pollution is a leading cause of illness, death, and poor quality of life, plus bikes and parks are awesome. wapo.st/42LaIRA
Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.
Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.
