@TheWarOnCars Crazy coincidence. I was just wondering about this while looking at a series of overhead nature scenes dramatically spilt by roads. Sometimes there's a wildlife-friendly underpass, sometimes a sloth has to drag itself across some asphalt only to suffer further humiliation in memes.

Quote of the year. Maybe even century:

“Reducing car use means using the latest technologies in the smartest possible ways

…. It’s seeing the combustion of Jurassic plant life in a combustion chamber invented by Victorians not as an icon of modernity but as a tarnished anachronism.”

@TheWarOnCars I know I'm late to the party, but this was a great episode (first I've listened to). Shocking to hear the wide range of effects of traffic noise even before we consider emissions etc. I wonder if there are studies yet on how much quieter EVs are/would be, I suspect wouldn't make much difference to wildlife though.
