The Future of the Streets: From Car Culture to Green Transit 🚲🌳

Let’s be real: the "concrete jungle" vibe is getting a little old. 🏙️ It’s time to trade the endless sea of brake lights for something that actually lets the planet breathe. Imagine shifting from the gridlock of 2019 to a 2030 where half the highway is reclaimed for bikes, pedestrians, and lush green canopies. 🌿✨ This isn't just "concept thinking"—it’s a necessary glow-up for our cities. Imagine commuting through a park instead of a parking lot, feeling the breeze, and actually seeing trees on your way to work. We’re manifesting urban spaces that prioritize people and the planet over exhaust pipes. The transport shift is coming, and it looks incredibly refreshing. 🚲🌬️

1. Migratory birds get conservation and habitat boost

“New government funds [raised through the sale of Duck Stamps] will help conserve, restore and enhance migratory bird habitat across the country. […] Overall, the commission approved $44.79 million for migratory bird wetland projects and $22.6 million for land purchases on three national wildlife refuges across three states to conserve 5,254 acres.”

2. Denver has a plan to heat and cool buildings with — wait for it — sewage

“The network will heat and cool buildings using underground pipes filled with water. That water circulates among buildings like a lazy river, linking them together on a loop[….] Each building is then outfitted with water-source heat pumps. [… W]astewater can contain about four times the heat used by buildings on the current steam system during the dead of winter[….] Currently, Denver’s wastewater is treated and dumped into the South Platte River while it’s still warm. That isn’t great for the river’s health[… and heat recovery] would save the utility from paying more to chill its wastewater and burning more energy in the process.”

3. In Kyrgyzstan, a climate-ready corridor gives snow leopards and herders room to roam

“Now, a stretch of high-altitude terrain in central Kyrgyzstan has been stitched into an ecological corridor linking several of the country’s protected areas. […] People still live, herd and work inside it, and the rules are built around them as much as around the wildlife. […] Grazing rules require leaving around 40% of vegetation cover as a food base for wild animals. […] The corridor is patrolled by volunteer rangers organized into community-based groups.”

4. Scientists have scrapped the worst‑case climate scenario—because action is making a difference

“[Climate change] scenarios lay out what our future climate will look like, depending on how fast we act to cut emissions. [… Among] the seven new [updated] scenarios announced last week [the two] worst-case scenarios, [under which] nations would make no effort to cut emissions and expand fossil fuel use […] had been removed. […] Although often slow and incomplete, our efforts to tackle climate change have made a tangible difference. We have averted the worst climate future once thought possible.”

5. Cambodia releases rare crocodiles into Srepok River to support species recovery

“Cambodia on Friday (May 22) freed 10 purebred Siamese crocodiles into the Srepok River […] aiming at recovering one of the world's rarest crocodile species. […] In 2021, [WWF] researchers documented the first photographic evidence of naturally hatched Siamese crocodiles in the Srepok River system, confirming successful breeding in the wild and highlighting the river's importance as a priority site for species recovery[….]”

In my time being concerned and stressed about climate change and the state of the world in general the rampant misanthropy found in climate concern spaces pisses me the fuck off

You’re letting the rich get away with it when you blame humanity!! We are not a virus!! It is not our fault for living!! It is capitalism it is exploitation it is the few not the many! Cynicism and hatred is getting us nowhere and we are not evil for existing!! Misanthropy is a fucking fascist trick!!

Hating humans as a whole feels like “boys will be boys” shit, saying humanity is inherently greedy and evil just makes it seem like the rich and soulless people in charge are just doing what humans do but like with boys will be boys that’s not how it should be! Humans are lovely and wonderful and we are failing ourselves by writing ourselves off as evil and failing to hold those of us who are acting poorly culpable by saying it’s just in our nature! Instead we should love ourselves as humanity enough to call out the bad actors because we are capable of better!

I hate bigots, I hate CEOs, I hate abusers, I hate exploiters, I hate the rich and I hate the powerful, but I will never hate humanity. We can do better, we are capable of more, and nothing will change if we write ourselves off as a lost cause

And to clarify I’m not saying there’s no responsibly for climate change or any kind of world crisis on the hands of us average people but I’m trying to say is the blame is not equal, I’m saying your small contributions to fighting these causes matter. DO consume less, DO boycott, DO protest, it all matters but maintaining a hateful outlook on humanity will never provoke change the way we want it to and we all need to recognize the amazing beautiful and kind things we as humans are capable of because we belong on this earth like any other creatures, the ones who don’t belong are the ones exploiting it all until everything implodes and that is the FEW NOT THE MANY. Love humanity because we can and we will be more

The young people in our @ObamaFoundation Leaders program give me hope. One of those leaders, Luisa Neubauer, is working to fight climate change and recently traveled to Antarctica. This Earth Day, I hope you'll check out her incredible story.

Happy Sunday everyone

Just a reminder that trump is mentioned in the Epstein files over a million fucking times.....

He's Ice agents are murdering people in the streets and tearing hardworking families apart..

Oh yeah and he's labeling climate change a hoax while trying to destroy everything the EPA has found so far....

Have a great day 👍
