Last chance to speak for the trees 📢📢📢

Old-growth trees are some of our best defenses against climate change. But right now, they’re on the chopping block.
Submit a public comment to help save our old-growth and mature forests. 👇

In 2007, Zoran Janković, the mayor of Ljubljana, was slapped and mobbed by protesters for proposing to make downtown car-free. It’s been so wildly successful that a recent survey of city residents showed that 97% of residents supported keeping the streets car-free.
Things I will stand outside in the April snow/ice/sleet for? Better health, lower heating bills and cleaner air!!! #ElectrifyChi

Rubber is meeting the road on climate action! 20% of U.S. carbon pollution comes from cars and trucks—and reining it in with this policy will prevent more emissions than the entire country produces in a year. It’ll also protect public health and save drivers money!

Good! Great time to remind ppl: 2 things can be true at once. Transportation Network Provider Gig workers deserve fairness & protection. AND we SHOULD have a Public Transit system so irresistibly good that doing anything other than taking it from our airports doesn’t make sense.
Drivers for Uber and Lyft are planning a one-day airport strike in 10 cities on Valentine’s Day, including Chicago, to once again call attention to demands for better wages, better safety practices and job protection.

Here's a way to visualize just how abnormally mild this winter has been in #Chicago! Other than that week or so in the middle of January with some bitter cold, temperatures have generally oscillated above average and much above average this entire meteorological winter! #ilwx

Just sent an email to @ChicagoDOT demanding they protect people and prioritize transit at the Chicago & Halsted intersection. Let's prioritize moving people, and not just moving cars. @chi_streets

Hi @usweekly @hulu @ABCNetwork maybe we don't run ads for a show called "Not Dead Yet" on a story about people being shot at the #ChiefsParade 😡

I’m a rodent, not a meteorologist.
It’s Groundhog Day…again. It's still cold.

If you're longing to retvrn to a time in Chicago with less traffic, the difference back then wasn't less people - there were more people in most neighborhoods. The difference was LESS DRIVING - less distance, less often, less car ownership. More walking & transit.

As double digit municipal tax increases are being debated by city councils around the country, it seems like a good time for this regular reminder. #reality

I’m not saying EVs aren’t part of the broader solution, but the primary goal HAS to be less driving & fewer cars. Picture tobacco companies selling “better cigarettes” as the solution (which can actually lead to MORE smoking), when we know the real solution is much less smoking.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them.
