PLEASE DONATE to the 22-year-old new refugee from Afghanistan who was stabbed in #ChinatownYVR while delivering food.
He's suffering life-altering trauma.
He has no friends/family here, he faces a language barrier & his housing is not ideal for recovery.

In Copenhagen for work and did a bike tour of the city yesterday. My main takeaway: the US is just doing everything wrong 🧵

Congrats to Knoxville, Tennessee on the city's new traffic noise cameras -- the first I've seen in the USA.
Owners of excessively loud vehicles will now get a $50 ticket in the mail.

Over 170 people have been arrested trying to protect these giants from being logged. Only 3% of large old growth remain in B.C.
It's time to protect our elders. #FairyCreekBlockade

The climate crisis is an existential threat and a fundamental challenge of our time. RT if you agree.

I’ve said it again and again. We need a new asset class. An asset class dedicated to climate financing. Not #VentureCapital & #impactinvesting - it has to be thesis driven, non correlated returns. Also stop saying cleantech. Energy /= DAC /= software

One place where there won't be an Uber/Lyft strike today: Vancouver.
It's the last big city in North America with no ridehail (and doing quite well without it). Reupping my @slate article from February.

#California's next battle in the climate change war: cutting #naturalgas consumption in tens of millions of buildings, the source of 25% of total state emissions. A must-read from @Sammy_Roth latimes.com/business/la-fi-g…

☀️ Lego is buying a majority stake in a #solar firm to offset its electricity usage. Since 2017, the company has offset 100% of its energy consumption with investments in #renewableenergy. It’s great to see Lego building a better world with #cleanenergy. bit.ly/2UrDZP1

50 all-electric #BYD e6 taxis began service in #Montreal, Canada
2,000-vehicle BYD fleet is expected to roll out over the next two years
The e6 has a range of up to 400 km (248 miles), which makes them more efficient than the Kia Soul or Nissan Leaf emc-mec.ca/new/byds-electric… #EV
