The National Astronomy Meeting starts today, 2025-July-7, in Durham, U.K.

Should be exciting to see the breadth of astronomical work presented.

And on Friday lunchtime, a community session on environmental sustainability in astronomy, instrumentation, and cosmology.

Community Economies: Reframing Wealth Building

“How can we change the system?”There are different ways one can answer this question. One way that, at least to me, is increasingly becoming the silver bullet for large-scale transformation is Community-Based Wealth Building.

In 2023 I used my E-Bike for 1700km.

During the year there was 1 day I used public transit as biking wasn't possible (snowstorm).
There were 10(ish) days I took my gravel bike instead as it felt safer due to snow / ice.

There were 0 days I used a car instead.

I spent 250eur for bike maintenance (the bike needed replacement parts) and an estimated 20eur for charging it's battery.

E-Bike really is the solution for city transportation.
