Green spaces, less pollution, more community shared areas, are better for people and for the temperature of cities.
A good idea to adopt these strategies as urban areas are being built, not when already done. Advocating this in my district.

Carrot and lobbyism, touting economic benefits is widely used by exploiting industries like mining or forestry, to make people accept it🤑 and ignore the negative effects, which are called externalisation. It'd be cheaper to pay them to not do it!

But they:

- pushed away the climate commission recommendations
- cancelled or reduced climate goals
