We should sing songs about the ‘what if’ workers who help people get out of their cars and keep cars out of the city. The bus design staff who thought: ‘what if we put phone chargers by every seat?’ The council engineers who thought: ‘what if we put sensors on the cycleways leading into the city that send free text messages in wintry weather to let cyclists know when we’ve cleared and salted their own bike route?’

@pvonhellermannn Every time I see or hear about constructive thinking and little local corrective actions like that, I think of them as 'small hopes'. A childish phrase, but they add some balance to the despairing big bad climate news that feels out of our personal control.
