So many existing oil + gas licenses, pipelines, wells are sited in Marine 'Protected' Areas, as shown on our Watershed Pollution Map. The pollution risks + risks to wildlife if existing licences are expanded are likely to be huge:

My brother sent me some photos of the residential high-rise fire in Tai Po, Hong Kong. I've always admired the ingenuity and sustainability of using bamboo scaffolding on high-rise buildings, but I've never thought about the fire risk.

IMPORTANT: NASA map shows temperatures of up to 160 degrees on Phoenix streets & sidewalks. All that unrelenting concrete and asphalt for cars. Not nearly enough trees. They start with ridiculous heat that’s only getting worse with the #ClimateCrisis, and then make it much worse with bad design.

People keep saying that driverless cars will end congestion.
In reality, all driverless cars do is change the math so that instead of roads being jammed with cars with just 1-2 people in them, the roads will be jammed with cars with 0-1 people in them.
