Nu nog aub de snelle fietsen ook een max snelheid, want 30 voor fietsen is veel te snel. De Elandsgracht bijv. is een ramp geworden voor oversteken.
Ook belangrijk: meer #OV! Meer #trams, bussen, toegankelijkheid. Want taxis worden duurder met 30KM/u en ouderen zijn vaak afhankelijk van hen

Wat heeft de dood van Mahsa Amini voor Iraanse vrouwen veranderd?

De dood van de 22-jarige Jina Mahsa Amini, dinsdag drie jaar geleden, leidde tot een golf aan protesten in Iran. Inmiddels worden vrouwen minder belaagd door de zedenpolitie. ‘Elke ongesluierde vrouw geeft anderen de moed om hetzelfde te doen.’

How about we try not emitting the carbon in the first place??

Things like Carbon Capture and Storage will never be as effective as not burning fossil fuels to start with.

Carbon capture set to be less useful in tackling climate change, scientists warn

CO₂ stored underground will be at risk of leaking back into the atmosphere, study finds
