WE ARE NOT DOOMED — DON'T GIVE UP
"The challenges we face are significant; but they are not insurmountable. We still have the ability to change the future, starting now. And the more we do, the better off we will all be. This is literally what the science says: every bit of warming matters, and every action and every choice matters, too.

"That’s why I am not giving up, and neither are millions of others. I am not accepting our current circumstances as the new normal."

BICYCLE FATALITIES PER MILLION PEOPLE
Tucson surprises me because they have a fairly visible cycling community. But their city roads aren't very well designed. Miami, OTOH, has neither a strong cycling culture nor cycle friendly roads.

MEMORY, GRIEF, AND HEALING
"If memory is so vital for navigating present grief, then what are we doing — what are we saying about ourselves — when we move to remove memories, to eliminate that which might give us a way to live now?"

FLORA FRIDAY -- Breadfruit is one of my favorite trees. They are so majestic with their large leaves. New research has identified which cultivars were introduced from Oceania to the Caribbean in the 18th century. The trees, now ubiquitous in the region, were introduced because the fruit was seen as a cheap food source for slaves on British run plantations. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982222019017

We purchased the breadfruit print, which hangs on our living room wall, from the artist when we lived on Guam.

INDUCED DEMAND -- How widened freeways create more congestion.

“It’s a pretty basic economic principle that if you reduce the price of a good then people will consume more of it,” Susan Handy, a professor of environmental science and policy at the University of California, Davis, said. “That’s essentially what we’re doing when we expand freeways.”
