One of the biggest disinformation campaigns ever applied to cities involves the constant claims that “driving pays its way.” It’s actually MASSIVELY subsidized, while things like walking, biking, public transit & supportive housing for the unhoused actually SAVE PUBLIC MONEY. #UrbanTruth

Iconic Andy Singer cartoon with a driver saying “Public Transit wastes money. It always has to be SUBSIDIZED!” He is surrounded by evidence that driving is heavily subsidized. In fact, investing in walking, biking, public transit, and housing for the otherwise homeless saves public money.

Today I'm writing to my MP to support a ban on fossil fuel advertising which is being discussed in Parliament following a successful petition started by @chrisgpackham.bsky.social. This ban must include the sponsorship of educational materials and any #greenwashing in schools.

Resolution for 2025: I will bug you harder about climate-ready low-tech deep renovations. Even if it hardly gets through because it seems most of you still believe new construction is possible in todays quantities.

MineCraft is very easy to get into for a very wide age range. Unfortunately Mojang doesn't allow you to generate XP through providing the most low carbon dwelling possible 😔 I'm also not too sure what the carbon output is of an exploding Creeper. They're DEFINITELY not environmentally friendly.
