“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.

Wir erheben grade dutzende Interviews und es ist wirklich irre, wie komplett weg vom Radar der Klimawandel ist. Selbst bei grünen Akademikern taucht er nicht mal auf, wenn nach den Herausforderungen unserer Gesellschaft gefragt wird. Don't Look Up, aber weil alle einfach vergessen, dass da was war.
