‘I made curtains on the train’: the commuters livening up their journeys (www.theguardian.com)
 

The pandemic opened the eyes of many to the benefits of running or cycling to work – or “active commutes” – and some have kept up the habit.

No longer content with long drives or boring train rides, commuters have been seeking ways to make their journeys more productive and enjoyable.

Support the artists ? Buying from Apple (or Amazon etc) sees you supporting Apple, supporting the publisher, the RIAA. The Artist is at the end of a long chain of grifters and middle men taking their pound of flesh.. I'd love to support the artists, if I could donate directly to them. The ones who aren't, like Taylor Swift don't need more supoort.

Councils from Paris to the Yarra want to use parking fees to clamp down on big SUVs. What are they doing and will they succeed? in c/environment@aussie.zone
[–] Hanrahan@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Not sure I agree with this as any solution, tokeninstic at best, the asshats who can afford $100k+ for a ute won't give a shit about increased parking fees, well enough of a shit to complain but not enough to stop them. Just ban them.

I don't log in to YT to watch any videos, I alao use Newpipe and Stube sans account. Grouping them in Tabs to get to is great for me.

If we were to ban cars, what would happen to emergency services? in c/fuckcars@lemmy.world
[–] Hanrahan@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Ban cars to me is shorthand for ban private cars, has nothing to do with EMS, or even public owned shared cars for that occasional time a car might necessary.

An 80% reduction in cars should be easy. 90% reduction with a few tweeks i'd think.

I'm wondering how to connect to an org? I have no kids, had a vasectomy decades ago over concerns about world population and biodiversity issues.. I keep my carbon emissions low and vote Green. Seems to me I give more fucks about a future livable planet for other peoples children then many parents do but that aside.

Anyone aware of a genuine community org that might be interested in me leaveing them my modest house and they can use it to house people ? I am guessing they'll get fucked over with stamp duty though for the title transfer, so maybe a modest sum to cover that for them as well?

Currently my will specifies everything is liquidated and then distributing the proceeds to reputable charities so, maybe that still makes more sense?

Nice to see some sensible policy for a change. Alas they have no hope of getting in :(

‘Climate Optimism’ Is Dangerous and Irrational ❧ Current Affairs (www.currentaffairs.org)
 

Just as a addendum to this, there's a book "What Lies Beneath" What lies Beneath with a super interesting foreword by Hans Joachim Schellnhuber about the very real dangers of relying on statistical models and doing nothing.

You don't have to read the entire book but I'd encourage everyone interested to read the foreword.
