“Anything we do that is not optimizing getting people out of cars and getting them to a bus stop, or allowing them to walk from their neighborhood to a school with their kids, or do a #bikeBus, or ride, walk & roll around [#Portland] — If we are not prioritizing that —then every other little piddly, marginal thing we do for the climate is much less important, because most of our emissions come from automobiles… and I think it’ll save us money in the long run.” 🎯 💯 #ClimateAction #transportation
