“Indigenous people are the stewards of much of the remaining standing forests and contain the hope that these precious places can be preserved.”

Not said in the best way, but it is absolutely right that honoring Indigenous land kinship is the right and necessary thing to do.

Laat de stille meerderheid antifa zijn. Want dit, nu, is wat je leven is

Deze column is voor het redelijke midden. De mensen die geleidelijkheid verkiezen boven revolutie, compromis boven polarisatie, overleg boven verzet. De ‘moet dat nou zo’-zeggers. De ‘het zal zo’n vaart niet lopen’-denkers.

Het is tijd dat ook jullie antifa worden

Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

Cartoon worm, man accuses women of being “anti-Car “…

Cartoon worm, man accuses women of being “anti-Car “…

I don’t hate cars. Like most North American males I was raised to think cars are cool, and as a design nerd, few objects are more eye-catching.

I hate surrendering our streets, our cities and our lives to them.

Car dependence isn’t freedom.

EU Must Cap SUV Hood Heights Urges Report. Crash Test Body Says Not As Simple As That Higher fronts on cars significantly increase the death rate when pedestrians and cyclists are struck, says new report. EuroNCAP says more complex than that.

“The rise in high-fronted SUVs poses a clear and growing threat to public safety, especially for children,” states the report. “With no benefit to society, it’s time for lawmakers at all levels to act.” Via @carltonreid.com in @forbes.com.

Cap SUV/truck hood heights. And ban unsafe designs.

Vakantie of niet. Als je solidariteit met de ene groep met (regenboog)kousen uitdrukt, maar je behandelt een volkerenmoord op kousenvoeten met stilte, dan heb je gewoon gekozen om het laatste goed te keuren. Het wordt hoogtijd dat we “de dingen benoemen”.
