Dreistes #Greenwashing meets #trafficplanning from hell in der neusten Werbung von #Shell in #Deutschland.
Da werden noch und noch #eAutos gezeigt - und Ladekabel, die Laufwege vom #Fußverkehr behindern.

Ladestationen für elektrisierten Individualverkehr haben auf dem #Gehsteig nichts verloren. Diese Infrastruktur darf nicht dazu führen, dass noch mehr Strassenraum für eine ineffiziente Art der #Mobilitaet zur Verfügung gestellt wird. So geht die #Verkehrswende NICHT, (S)hell!
