I’m watching hundreds of fireflies in my small yard filled with plants, no chemicals used. Over my next door neighbor’s fence, not a single firefly. They spray weekly for mosquitoes. Here’s how to help fireflies https://t.co/j3Vfurc11Z

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
