I left Paris just when the newly-elected mayor, Anne Hidalgo, started promoting cycling network.
I swear at the time I didn't believe it would work at all.

I'm extremely happy to have been proven wrong!😊

#ClimateDiary #Cuba 2/2 Hugely inspiring for all of us. Showing that reducing #FossilFuel dependence is not just about switching to renewables, but also about reorganising food systems and supply chains; about living differently, and, indeed, the power of community. Honestly, I used to show this folm to students every year and we all loved it. #ThePowerOfCommunity
Will #Trump be remembered as the man who accidentally ended global #FossilFuel dependency?

Why is Australia so reliant on foreign oil?

“We’re completely dependent on imported fuel.”

“We’ve spent a lot of money, especially in places like Victoria and Sydney, building up large motorway networks, large road infrastructure, without any kind of thinking about whether that’s an optimal approach”..."A focus on servicing new growth areas with public transport would help buffer cities against future shocks."

“Some of us are motivated by the impact of transportation and the consumption of fuels and energy on the environment. But many of us are much more strongly motivated by the impact on our hip pocket. And sometimes also the impact in terms of the security of our country.” >>
