The 2022 #IPCC Report says “cities also provide opportunities for climate action (…) sustainable transport systems that connect urban and rural areas can all lead to a more inclusive, fairer society.” I don’t think they mean electric cars… ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/resou…

I do love the accessibility of the paths along our @scottishcanals & the new trails around Loch Morlich @cairngormsnews Great paths around @DiscoverKelpies & @HelixFalkirk too. Love using all these accessible paths for a wheel 👩‍🦽with my doggies - great mental health boosters.

I challenged my mum to leave the car and take the bike today. It took a little persuasion but she got into it 😉 #LetsDoNetZero can be fun AND makes you feel good (so I’m told).
