28th June? Looks like we jumped the gun (sic). @hotcity_akl @AklCouncil @AKLPort @MayorAuckIand @_chloeswarbrick @RichardHills_
Still wrong! @AklCouncil @AKLPort @RichardHills_ @aucklandmuseum @GreaterAKL #ww1 and just quietly #NZ declared #war on August 5th
Another year has passed and the date the @VersailleTreaty was signed remains 28th June NOT 26th

So awful to see these little sharks desperately trying to escape a needless death in a Talley’s bottom trawling net.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”
“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” grist.org/biking/one-mile-on…

They claimed traffic congestion was caused by trains, street cars, wide sidewalks, urban neighborhoods... So we destroyed all those things to "solve traffic", yet traffic is worse than ever. Now they're blaming bike lanes? It has always just been cars - cars cause congestion.

Less local traffic. Lower emissions. Less pollution. Less noise. Better physical health. Better mental health. Better mood. Happier. Better school performance. Less public cost. Less space needed.
Let kids ride.

They say big trucks are just a reality if you want to make deliveries in the city.
I say there's other ways to solve the "last-mile" problem...

The electric tricycle is ubiquitous on Dutch streets, and—with an ageing population—is one of the fastest growing segments of the retail market.
Is it terrain? Weather? Culture? Not really. As with so many things, it comes down to the quality of their infrastructure networks. 🧵

The benefits of more #cycling are so much more than reduced congestion and less pollution! HT @UNHABITAT @EuCyclistsFed

BOOM!
New cameras on boats revealed 3.5 times more albatross were being caught by fishing boats than expected, prompting officials to adopt stringent new protections.
A big win and vindication for everyone who campaigned for cameras on boats!
