The collective joy over the eclipse and unanimous support for the shark that bit that dickhead are lovely today. We’re not all bad
One of the reasons I was thinking of it lately is because it's the opposite of so much environmental policy: it puts the burden on the business, not the individual. The plastic bag levy and Re-turn give businesses no incentive to use better packaging.
We have a significant problem with poorly socialised dogs due in part to being left home alone all day without stimulation, as well as the general dog-unfriendly nature of our society where dogs can't get exposed to a wide variety of social settings.
Automakers are literally advertising the fantasy of driving a multi-ton vanity tank through a public building. But sure, tell me again how ebikes are the real danger to society.

IT: Before dismantling the central accountability mechanism of its climate law, the Government should answer one question. Which projects have actually been stopped by Section 15, rather than the European rules that will survive its removal? JN: None.

This is why we should all be shouting about the Climate Emergency. Why we should vote out FFG & other politicians that not only refuse to do anything to fix it, but actively want to make it worse #IrishPol #Speirgorm 📸 Lorraine O'Dwyer Instagram:gallavanting.ie www.instagram.com/reel/Db6H-qx...

Stopped to pick up pizza from my favourite local pizza place on my way home from work a couple of days ago. It’s so easy with the cargo bike. I had two separate people ask me about my bike after I loaded the pizza. I also love that my journey takes me through a beautiful park. #cargobikelife
Bringing WEEE recycling (Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment) to the local drop by bike. No better way to do it 😊
Government have spent over a billion euro on fuel subsidies this year… yet have no room in the budget for new BusConnects phases, Luas expansions or Dart+ projects Opposition parties need to get their priorities straight
RTÉ News@news.rte.ie · 2d agoOpposition parties have urged the Government to postpone plans to return fuel excise duty costs to their full price due to ongoing concerns over the cost-of living crisis
The visual definition of a "cyclist" completely changes the second you stop designing infrastructure exclusively for middle-aged men riding for sport.
"Since its formation, this Government has shown little inclination to regain the ground which has been lost on Ireland’s climate targets." #IrishPol

Cycling advocates have really gotta start playing on the same team as transit advocates. Especially in cities like Indianapolis, where much more people are using transit than biking. Bad faith arguments and whataboutism do nothing to advance either cause.

Better cycling cities are not just "more bike-friendly." They are also more equitable in access to cycling between genders. This means that infrastructure, safety, and policy improvements tend to benefit women more by removing barriers that affect them disproportionately.
How to admit election cheating and not one word about it is in the media.
Very strange law. Can the person taking "adverse possession" not be charged with breaking & entering?

Weeks of drought. The grass is gasping for water and so is saving its resources and not growing. But heck, contractors have got a job to do, even if the only result is slashing and crushing the last remains of life. Good job all. 👍
The news this morning.. “Copernicus tells of the hottest and driest European summer on record.” “One million people evacuated ahead of Typhoon hitting China”. “Dublin airport hits sixteenth consecutive month of growth of passenger numbers.” Just don’t look up. #climatecrisis
I've never seen the grounds of Kilkenny Castle this dry, and this is after the small amount of rain the other day.
