Great new video from "political influencer" 😉@notjustbikesMany many valid points. Is there any other way we could save lives, help the environment, reduce injuries, improve mental health, reduce pollution, make transport cheaper, and more, for such a small amount of money and effort? #NotJustBikes #WarOnCars #Nebula #Urbanism https://nebula.tv/videos/notjustbikes-what-is-the-correct-speed-limit/

@Aurimas @notjustbikes This subject was discussed recently by a few people, including @nerd4cities The bottom line is pretty much every place is different, so there is no single way. You just have to start asking around. What you might want to do is if find other like-minded people locally. See if there is a Srong Towns movement or Safe Streets group in your city.

🚨 THE WORLD'S LARGEST DEFORESTATION PROJECT HAS BEGUN. Amid the paradise forests of #Papua, #Indonesia, a business consortium has started destroying what will eventually be 20,000 square kilometers slated for the "Meruake Intergrated Food and Energy Development Area." That’s 112 times the size of Washington, DC. The company, PT Global Papua Abadi and partners like Sulaidy (linked to First Resources Ltd.) are destroying habitat for endangered tree kangaroos and birds of paradise. The land was allotted to the companies without seeming concern for the Indigenous communities who live on it. The photo below is of the latest shipment of 264 excavators bought from China. It's part of a mind-boggling order of 2000 land-clearing machines. This is likely the largest single deforestation project in the world…and it makes no sense.Although the stated rationale is that the project will provide climate resilience and food security, the reality is the opposite: this level of deforestation will pump about a billion tons of carbon pollution into the atmosphere and bulldoze local food gardens to make room for mono-culture sugar and rice plantations. Much of the sugar won't go to food, but rather ethanol to be burned in gas tanks. Simply put, it is a disaster.It follows previous failed efforts to establish state-backed plantation agriculture: the "Mega-Rice Project" on Borneo's peatland rainforest resulted in hundreds of thousands of acres of degraded land…but no permanent rice (rice doesn't grow well on peat). This project seems likely to end in similar failure.The tragedy is that this project would also single-handedly undermine Indonesia's greatest climate success: reducing the rate of commodity deforestation by an amazing 90%. I hope that President Jokowi, incoming President Prabowo, and Minister of Environment and Forestry Siti Nurubaya will examine the project to see if the companies involved are actually delivering on its purposes – or are instead breaking the government's legal commitments.There is reason for hope: the government recently took the brave step of stopping another company's threat to forests: Mayawana Persada’s destruction of more than 90,000 acres in Borneo. They acted acted because the destruction undermined the government’s nationally determined climate commitments (NDCs): to restore 2 million hectares of peatland and 12 million of degraded land. The Merauke project is about 50 times as big as Mayawana Persada’s: It's hard to understand how it passes legal muster or contributes to the country’s admirable goals.Indonesia’s forest success has been a signal accomplishment of the Jokowi administration – and an example for the world. As the administration comes to a close, the President and his successor have the opportunity to secure one of Indonesia’s greatest examples of international leadership into the future.#deforestation #Climate #climatechange #biodiversity #PolyCrises https://news.mongabay.com/2024/06/sugarcane-megaproject-poses-latest-threat-to-papuas-forests-communities/

@mike @Gargron Yep. I was on another social media site the other day, and there was no translate button, and I immediately appreciated Mastodon's implementation.

I almost skipped this episode @TheWarOnCars Glad I didn't. You all riffed off each other so wonderfully 🙂 it was hilarious. Almost worth listening to just for Sarah's take down of the Jeep advert. #TheWarOnCarshttps://thewaroncars.org/2025/02/11/episode-144-super-bowl-roundup-with-rollie-williams-and-nicole-conlan/

@TheWarOnCars I keep coming back to this idea for an advert. Cars ≠Freedom. Being forced to sit in a metal box, pay some billionaire for gas, be spied on everywhere you go, breath in poisonous fumes, need to carry an ID at all time.... #TheWarOnCars

The difference between the Fediverse and Commercial Social Media. One is designed to be addictive, contains harmful ingredients and gives an adrenaline hit. It's ingredients are a secret. It's a centralised product, made and controlled by one entity. It doesn't care for people or planet, just profits.The other is home made tea.#Fediverse #SocialWeb #Mastodon #SocialMedia
