Helen CzerskiOne of the biggest habits that humanity has to kick is that of seeing a human-free space and assuming it’s worthless/empty unless we fill it up with something. It’s happening with plans for the ocean, deforestation for “development”, talk of delivery drones filling the future sky, cube sats that will hide the stars. This “space” is the planetary engine, and it’s incredibly valuable NOW. doing all sorts of things that keep us alive & enrich our lives. We should protect it. #ocean #climate #Earth

Blake Leonard@pedestrians1st @helenczerski We definitely should be cutting way down on roads, and maybe replacing them with rails instead, especially elevated HSR. You need far less space to run those, and they run far more people at any given time.
However, at least in the US, our public transportation infrastructure is so insanely car-dependent that there's no use for it (think: you have to have a car to get to the train station and from the next station to your destination).
