Hope the border stops the storm from coming over! This is when a wall would be good ;-)

Just creating an even greater hell for the Iranian people.

God yeah! Its not just the people suffering. This destruction just another damaging layer to what is already being done.

Mad Magazine spoofed obsolescence. As a kid I thought it was hilarious, as an adult, not so much :-(

Billboard ad for public transit visible from a freeway filled with cars and congestion, that says “You are not stuck in traffic. You ARE traffic.”

One of the best of all time.

“You’re not stuck in traffic. You ARE traffic.”

Wish we had come up with that one. #UrbanTruth

We need more of these around! Brilliant!

We totally need more. And we have to stop cars from using them as their highway. But let's start with more bus lanes :-)

We could post something smart and important about artificially low municipal taxes, austerity budgets, and the economic self-destruction of too many cities — or we could just recommend that you READ AND SHARE this really important THREAD below. #UrbanTruth

Plants that grow in the cracks of sidewalks give me hope! And yay to the person who values them. What can we say about spaces that can't even provide a little dusty corner to house a plant.

Really worth the 10 minutes for the graphics👍

This makes so much sense!

Sadly, it needs to be in dollars and cents, even though what i see are all the trees chopped down to widen another highway.

Rare Canadian rainforest at risk from logging | The Narwhal Two forestry companies hold licences to log in B.C.’s rare rainforest, home to ancient trees, endangered caribou and rare lichens. Could a provincial park preserve the region?

A proposal for a new provincial park now has renewed interest, via @sarahkcox.bsky.social

Went on a guided walk on the St George Rainway in Vancouver. Really wonderful the green infrastructure that the city has added increasing our green space, biodiversity and helping manage our rain water runoff. Thanks @thuringch.bsky.social and GRIN and City of Vancouver folks for hosting.

The planet is not made for endless growth. So many other better factors to measure how well people and nature are thriving.

Global economy must move past GDP to avoid planetary disaster, warns UN chief Exclusive: António Guterres says world’s accounting systems should place true value on the environment

150+ countries admit what we already know: endless GDP growth and sustainable biodiversity cannot coexist.

GDP growth = more extraction, more land use, more pollution.

Death by GDP is a choice. We need a Wellbeing Economy!

We are already distracted, the last thing we need is an attention magnet like a gigantic touch screen. Don't we all naturally veer toward screens :-(

We definitely need more renewables. Hopefully the cost of oil rising motivates more of us to get off of oil.

You are so right. Im in Vancouver, close to Knight street. There are huge trucks on this road that drive super fast. It gives me visions of being flattened on the road. I avoid at all costs crossing this street!

This is awful!

As a pedestrian, very scary to see the big SUVs up close. Watching them in crash tests even more scary, especially as they roll over sedans and crash test dummies. Definitely time for more pedestrian and environment friendly cities!! Long live pedestrians :-)

I got sucked in to watching the video about SUVs. The big car arms race is a little frightening. Watching how vulnerable pedestrians and sedan drivers are with big SUVs is scary. How do we turn this around???

This is terrible. How do we destroy a living ecosystem for dead wood!!!

BLM Announces Plan to Fell Oregon's Last Great Forests One billion board feet per year... 30 days to make your voice heard.

EMERGENCY, #oregon forest friends!

Three more weeks to comment. No public hearings scheduled.

It's really not that surprising. The data exists. I'm just hoping to see my residential street go down to 40km/h.

Compelling stats for slowing down cars! Holy!

How many warnings do we need?🤯
