The point is that we're sinking vast sums of public money into an existing motoring network, which only encourages more people to drive, while completely neglecting and underfunding the alternative modes: public transport, walking and cycling.

A #SchoolStreet is...a temporary closure of roads around a school at drop off and pick up times. They've been found to reduce exposure to #airpollution, increase road safety and lead to more #activetravel. We want to see them EVERYWHERE! (Image via Gayhurst Primary School).

"It’s “blindingly obvious” that we need a programme to bring trees back to our landscapes on a vast scale... to grow more trees in towns, cities & on farms. Large,permanent forests can be created on public land, on uplands and along river corridors"

Great work to Paris city for providing accessible water fountains. So very 19th/21st century.
Time for IRL and Cork to follow suit. Let's provide similar fountains & reduce single use plastic. An easy win for environment & city.
And on our Green Campuses too.
