This article from Marco Chown Oved on high gas prices misses the mark. Instead of encouraging the use of EV's, we need FEWER CARS and instead put a bigger emphasis on encouraging walking, biking, and public transit! #BikeTO #WalkTO #TTC #TOpoli #cdnpoli #UrbanTruth www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

High gas prices got you down? Here’s how much EVs and heat pumps can help your bottom line

The Iran war was the latest shock to energy prices. Helped by the newly re-established federal EV rebate, savings from going green can be substantial.

“We're afraid of walkable distances now?” If you somehow missed the unhinged conspiracy about the common sense notion of 15-Minute Cities, listen to @[email protected]’s National Australian Radio interview with @[email protected]. Very early on he called out the lies & tactics. #UrbanTruth

'We're afraid of walkable distances now?' — conspiracies and the '15-minute city' - ABC listen

The polite world of urban planning has become the latest target of conspiracy theorists. In recent weeks, the 15-minute city concept — where neighbourhoods provide life's essentials in 15 minutes by foot or bike — has become a harbinger of big brother in conspiracy-land. Brent Toderian, a keen urbanist and Vancouver's former chief planner, is here to help us understand how a "mundane" urban planning concept has prompted protests in Canada and the UK. Later, we turn to the disaster zone in southern Turkiyë and northern Syria to understand what shelter is available — and appropriate — for those displaced. Tom Bamforth, a writer and aid worker who who specialises in shelter and settlements, joins Blueprint to canvas what kinds of shelters are available — from Ikea's award-winning flatpack to the DIY . And Blueprint regulars Annie Smithers and Colin Bisset return with some sweets and stories: Annie with the inside scoop on strawberry sorbets, and Colin with the pioneering African American woman who changed architectural history.

We go deep into how to break out of the echo-chambers and reach broad audiences, how to be more persuasive about telling the truth while calling out lies more effectively, and how to make technical issues much less boring for everyone through better communication and simple marketing. https://youtu.be/ptHuub8NViw?si=MSWpRaKD7TuS6aIb
