I mainly tweet about my work sustainable-city-building with Team London Bridge - walking, cycling, carbon reducing, urban greening, cargo bike delivering ... and the Low Line (where it all comes together).

Pedalling Towards a Cleaner London: a Record-Breaking Cargo Bike Cruise - Team London Bridge Cargo bikes have transformed freight transportation in London. What once was seen as a novelty is now a mainstream, eco-friendly, and efficient way to move everything from laundry to legal documents.

Congratulations to @teamlondonbridge.bsky.social for supporting Cargo Bike Cruise 2025, with 80 cargo bikes pedalling towards a cleaner London last week.

It was fantastic to see the annual London Cargo Bike Cruise return, uniting the world’s largest convoy of cargo bikes showcasing London’s growing freight revolution

They play a vital role in cutting carbon from London’s transport system, cleaner & more efficient than traditional delivery methods

🚲🚲🚲 The annual Cargo Bike Cruise in London yesterday - what an afternoon!

Our latest analysis shows that diesel vans are now the biggest road source of NOx pollution in central London. Shifting to cargo bikes is one of the key ways to get those dirty diesels off our streets. 1/

The number of diesel vans on our roads has skyrocketed in recent years, worsening carbon emissions and air quality in cities. I'm pleased @thecccuk.bsky.social recognise this today with a 'key action' for decisionmakers to quickly implement policies and incentives to boost electric van uptake πŸ™πŸš›βš‘1/3

Starbucks cold drink cups recycling.

Starbucks cold drink cups recycling.

Sam Knowlton, "Recycling is a psyop to convince people that plastic can be used abundantly and sustainably without consequences."

Where I live in Waynesboro, VA there is a recycling center. When I asked about the glass, I was told it was used as intermediate cover in the landfill, so not recycled!
