β€œAnything 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] β€” If we are not prioritizing that β€”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.” 🎯 πŸ’― #ClimateAction #transportation

I can't think of any worse waste and mismanagement than undertaxing gasoline for 100 years, but let's start counting car lane-miles and see if we need them all.
