The War on CarsSome people apparently think that it's a gotcha to say that because our book will be delivered by trucks (USPS, UPS or Amazon) it negates the message or that we're hypocrites.
To that we say...
Amin Hollon 🏳First off—you're 100% right.
But I got a happy little giggle at the thought of book-delivery bikes.
EndlessMason@amin @TheWarOnCars Bicycle couriers are a thing already ...
BlechTerror STOPP🚗🚙🚘terror@EndlessMason @amin @TheWarOnCars Already very common over here: https://newsroom.hermesworld.com/hermes-baut-zusammenarbeit-mit-onomotion-in-berlin-deutlich-aus-22017/ (just one example)
Nachhaltigkeit: Hermes baut Zusammenarbeit mit ONOMOTION in Berlin deutlich aus | Hermes Newsroom
Insgesamt 18 Cargo-Bikes der Marke ONOMOTION werden für Hermes innerhalb der nächsten Wochen in der Berliner City eingesetzt. Neun Cargo-Bikes stellen ab sofort bereits Sendungen emissionsfrei in den Stadtteilen Mitte, Kreuzberg und Schöneberg zu.
@blechterror I live in the netherlands lmao
@EndlessMason ooops my answer should have gone to @amin 🤷 sry
@amin Our local bookstore delivers by cargo bike.
pixxI'd also note that the relative impacts and costs of trucking and driving are _not the same_.
Trucking is _wildly_ more efficient than driving. The truck delivering your book may also be delivering your neighbor's air conditioner, the lady across the street's "romance novels", her husband's supplements, ...
(silly examples on purpose. life is absurd, let's have fun with it :)
That's awesome, I love it!
Shanie MyrsTear@TheWarOnCars I’m sure if there was a train someone could take to get your book, you’d support it.
Maybe to the bookstore or local library 
If a train could come direct to my house the book wouldn’t be necessary…
Adam van Sertima@TheWarOnCars It’s as if because we can’t have a magical surfing Unicorn *right this minute* then there’s no point even trying. Truly, we can’t simply stop the wave we’re on, but we can ride it to a better one.
kimu@TheWarOnCars sheesh. People, smh.
Corpomancer@TheWarOnCars There's no escape, even if it wasn't wrapped with itself you'd still get your fill of it.
climate voter/crazy leftist@TheWarOnCars Who are these people and are they joking?
DianeI wonder if anyone in the car free village at the bottom of the grand canyon is going to buy a copy of your book.
Then it could be delivered by mule.
