Landscape isn’t decoration—it’s climate infrastructure. Every park, campus, public space, or commercial site quietly:
Guides water to prevent floods and water‑logging
Preserves soil health and local geology
Plants species that thrive, not just look good
Supports birds, insects, and broader biodiversity
Works with climate conditions instead of fighting them
Provides psychological calm and physiological comfort

Cargo bike delivery is much faster than polluting vans and trucks -- with massive benefits
"Cargo bike delivery can ship goods in cities faster than vans, removing tonnes of greenhouse gas and easing congestion at the same time, according to a new study by climate charity Possible and the University of Westminster’s Active Travel Academy."

“California has some of the weakest DUI laws in the country, allowing repeat drunk and drugged drivers to stay on the road with little punishment. Here, drivers generally can’t be charged with a felony until their fourth DUI within 10 years, unless they injure someone. In some states, a second DUI can be a felony.
California too often fails to differentiate between drunk drivers who made a dangerous mistake but learn from it and those who refuse to stop endangering lives.
California also gives repeat drunk drivers their licenses back faster than other states. Here, you typically lose your license for three years after your third DUI, compared to eight years in New Jersey, 15 years in Nebraska and a permanent revocation in Connecticut. We found drivers with as many as six DUIs who were able to get a license in California.
Many drivers stay on the road for years even when the state does take their license — racking up tickets and even additional DUIs — with few consequences until they eventually kill.
When the worst does happen, there’s often little punishment. Drunk vehicular manslaughter isn’t considered a “violent felony.” But in a twist of state law, a DUI that causes “great bodily injury” is — meaning that a drunk driver who breaks someone’s leg can face more time behind bars than if they’d killed them, prosecutors said.”

“Just one more lane bro“ folks try to solve the problem of congestion inflow into the city by increasing the capacity of the motor roads into the city (while expansion of motor roads inside of the city can’t keep the same pace, and neither it should), rather than diversifying and optimizing for more means of transportation.
