As Lyme goes global, a new book sees it as ‘first epidemic of climate change’. I check myself at least twice a day, as well as spraying my ankles w/insecticide before going out. https://t.co/6TYSXuHmOj

Vacant land and urban agriculture are rejuvenating wild bee populations. Bees love cities. What can cities do to love them back? https://t.co/A7mrxmd5tn pic.twitter.com/bJ7EleD3ef

Cilantro is one of our favorite crops to succession sow. Start a row in your garden every couple of weeks so you have a constant supply. Plant some this weekend! pic.twitter.com/MbbEacOH2k

At the peak of its technological advancement, human civilization became enthralled with a form of machinery known as the “car.” In order to make space for these deadly, highly inefficient machines, large portions of human cities were replaced with uninhabitable concrete barrens. pic.twitter.com/t178MD8GN0

In essence, if Uber/Lyft trips are replacing either transit or single-passenger auto trips, they’re increasing total vehicle miles travelled. A good explanation for why many cities are seeing increasing traffic without much increased population. https://t.co/srPsR3kroO

The Dutch are famous for re-orienting their larger cities around bicycle transportation since the 1970s. What’s less known is that some of their newer suburbs have never been auto-oriented.
Instead, they were built with bicycling in mind from day one.https://t.co/q9RBaD0CgM pic.twitter.com/hR7ZuKbEKt

When you live in a city that’s congested with traffic and plagued with pedestrian and cyclist deaths, where a second of driver inconvenience outweighs the collective good of a loaded streetcar, it’s hard to argue for the value of a single person in a car. https://t.co/PcElCHYRP9

One year ago today
LA’s progress to become a safe place for vulnerable road users has been stalled and the tech moguls who catalyzed the pushback are invisible now that their financial interests have been protected

My wife Sharon’s first op-ed, on food waste. She’s @naturegrrrrl
Food was our 2nd largest source of GHG emissions. So we became vegetarian, and started growing food, composting, and eating from the waste stream as much as we can. https://t.co/pRtNoomUCj
