Yes! #moreplantsonplates please! More plants on plates = less emissions, less waste, less METHANE (cough, ahem, @MichealMartinTD, splutter), less antibiotics (remember the antibiotic resistance crisis anyone?), less chronic disease, less hospitalisation, improved biodiversity...
The European Society of Cardiology has recently updated their guidance for primary prevention of Ireland’s number one cause of death; cardiovascular disease. Class I, Level A evidence is to limit animal foods and eat towards a plant based diet. @HSELive @plantbaseddocIE

"Ripping out these protected bike lanes against the will of Toronto city council is a colossal waste of $48 million. The province’s own experts know it will not ease traffic congestion, it will put people’s lives at risk…”
One of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen any politician do to any city.

As cities seek to build the housing and urban density we badly need to address many of our biggest crises, we should never buy into the false choice of urban density OR urban green spaces and people-places. Never forget, the latter are critical for doing urban density successfully. #DensityDoneWell

Even bigger subsidies being considered for private motorists while they hike the Public Transport costs for those travelling sustainably
It’s unbelievable where Governments priorities are at the moment
Taoiseach Micheál Martin says nothing has been ruled out when it comes to lowering the cost of fuel for motorists.
He says further interventions may be warranted as the price of diesel passes €2 a litre at some filling stations.
However, any additional spending on fuel supports would reduce the money available for next month’s Budget.

Krass: Nach Paris gibt es jetzt auch aus London Auswertungen darüber wie die Verkehrspolitik der letzten zehn Jahre die Luftqualität in der 🇬🇧 Hauptstadt verändert hat. Das Ergebnis ist nicht weniger beeindruckend:
Lange war London für seine schlechte Luft berüchtigt. Große Teile der Stadt überschritten regelmäßig die Grenzwerte. Doch dann wurde 2016 der Labour Politiker Sadiq Khan neuer Bürgermeister. Der Beginn der Londoner Verkehrswende:
- 2020: Einführung einer der strengsten Umweltzonen der Welt in der Innenstadt
- 2023: Ausweitung der Umweltzone auf ganz London
- Ausweitung der City-Maut auf 7 Tage die Woche
- Erhöhung der City-Maut von 13€ auf 21€
- Anschaffung von 1300 E-Bussen
- Vervierfachung der Radwege von 90km auf 400km
- 600.000 neue Bäume gepflanzt und 900 Hektar neue Grünflächen geschaffen.
Das Ergebnis: In 10 Jahren hat sich die Luftqualität um 49% verbessert. Das Überschreiten der Grenzwerte ging um 97% zurück und die Todesfälle durch Luftverschmutzung reduzierten sich allein seit 2019 um 40%. Londons Luft ist jetzt so sauber wie noch nie seit Beginn der Messungen.
So schön zu sehen, was alles geht, wenn der politische Wille da ist💪❤️

Because we are A) unwilling/ incapable of valuing ecosystem functions that marginal or peaty land already provides, and B) unwilling to legislate against drainage without oversight, we are storing up massive costs for the State....all for absolutely meagre agricultural gains.

“Do your own research” is excellent advice.
Just remember:
Googling isn’t research.
Watching videos isn’t research.
Finding a paper that agrees with you isn’t research.
And reading scientific literature doesn’t magically give you the expertise required to interpret it.
Access to information is not the same thing as expertise.

Make no mistake… Government have today decided to effectively ban e-scooters in all but name
A decades worth of advocacy goes straight down the toilet because Government refused to stop retailers selling illegal vehicles to children
This is a massive step backwards

Luas Bray “COULD” begin next year…. In the same way Ireland “COULD” meet its emissions reduction targets…. But it won’t

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via study that still underestimates climate cost.
This isn’t about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”
Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life.
Common sense.
Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.
