1:21 Why trams are great
6:56 Our ultimate goal is great urban places
8:37 Trams as a walking accelerator
9:35 Trams encourage development
11:59 Trams make urban places better
15:58 Trams improve pedestrianised places
14:52 Metros also fit well in great urban places
16:05 Streetcars were replaced with subways
17:42 Trams and metros have different purposes
19:21 Trams can be faster than metros
21:01 Buses are not a replacement for trams
23:45 Trams are better for cycling
25:16 BRTs are problematic
27:26 Your city should not be building a BRT
29:49 Trams are not "in the way"
31:16 We need to properly fund public transit
32:51 Toronto streetcars are terrible
33:25 City with good trams reap the benefits

Americans always react denying the possibility of #CyclingInfrastructure in the US.
Blaming everything but themselves.
Not being able to see it.
Given an opportunity they see short term profit for the already wealthy instead of long term welfare and health for every one.
This was done by a Republican Mayor and everybody is happy.

"Cycling in Carmel, Indiana from a Dutch perspective" [4:44 min]
by BicycleDutch

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh5gY_4SXUw

Quote by BD:
"May 1, 2024
[Ep. 1025] The city of Carmel, Indiana, is exceptionally people- and cycling-friendly, defying stereotypes for a Midwestern conservative-led small city. Even though it is also still quite car centric, its streetscapes do demonstrate that building livable cities can transcend political divides.
But how does Carmel fare in my Dutch eyes? I travelled from the Netherlands to Indiana to experience cycling in Carmel firsthand."

Quote by MEFN:
"May 2, 2025
In this vlog, Isla returns to our project with Arkaig Community Forest, where Simon (Blue Green Conservation) has finished felling non-native trees and is in the process of removing the logs from this ecologically sensitive peatland with the help of Tarzan the horse."

ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Scotland possesses some of the richest examples in Europe of a rare biome - temperate rainforest. Despite this, there are only thought to be around 30,000 hectares of woodland that have rainforest biodiversity left within the rainforest zone, an area that stretches along the west coast and is characterised by its wet climate. The zone currently holds approximately 93,000 hectares of semi-natural woodland that could potentially harbour this diversity. Ancient or old growth woodlands are the best places to start protecting, expanding and managing this declining habitat.

"The Man Who Grafted A Legacy" [ ± 1-3 min]
by amillison

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xNqsTUafUMw

Quote by am:
"Apr 25, 2025
In 1921, plant breeder John Hershey began a quiet experiment in Downingtown, Pennsylvania: he planted a food forest designed to feed people and regenerate soil—without the need for irrigation or fertilizer.
A century later, many of those trees are still thriving.
Grafted nut trees, prolific persimmons, and resilient mulberries continue to grow in suburban neighborhoods—largely forgotten, yet still producing food with no maintenance.
This is more than a story about one man’s legacy. It’s living proof that perennial agroforestry systems can withstand the test of time and offer solutions to today’s most pressing food and climate challenges.
➤ What if more neighborhoods were built like this?
➤ What if food security could last generations? This is what regenerative design looks like in action."

Hurray... no more lithium !
But there's more. R&D most of the time it's about the small steps and a lot of sweat.
This seems to be the giant historical leap forward.

Living in the Netherlands this is normal for me [all be it exceptional].
I used to commute to work on bike. No drivers license. Owning 3 bikes. One for urban traffic, to the train station. One for leisure. And the last at the trainstation of my workplace.
Would that was possible for every one.
Remember: 'If you build it, they will come' As it goes for bicycles it also goes for cars.

Quote by OTU:
"Aug 13, 2023
Why build bike lanes — shouldn’t we focus on public transit instead? There’s a criticism we’ve seen that bicycle urbanism is a niche obsession and that urbanists’ attention should instead be on public transit as a more robust, reliable, and realistic alternative to driving."

"What does lab-grown chocolate taste like? " [ ± 1min]
by NewScientist

Quote by NS:
"Apr 19, 2025
Climate change is hitting cacao farms hard, leading to shortages in chocolate's raw ingredient. Every chocolate company is desperate as the price of cocoa beans has quadrupled after remaining relatively stable for decades. But there is hope. California Cultured is one of several firms aiming to mass-produce chocolate in vats using cell culture technology. New Scientist managed to get hold of a small sample and, in true scientific endeavour, did a blind taste test to see how it compares."

Sometimes I get very, very annoyed with my fellow countrymen when it comes to solar !
Money seems to be [have been] the primary goal for solar.
Should that goal not have been to contribute to the solution to the #ClimateEmergency.
#Mitigation, the ultimate solution.

"New Report - Rooftop Solar PV is THE biggest climate mitigation technology!" [11:25 min]

Quote by JHaT:
"Apr 13, 2025
Rooftop solar PV is THE best way to reduce your household energy bills (alongside good insulation of course!). But the technology is woefully underutilised on a global basis, especially in regions that have the best sunshine, like Africa. Now a new report has crunched some numbers and calculated the climate mitigation potential of all those unused roofs around the world. And it's quite the impact!"

"Why the Biggest Battery Company is Betting Against Lithium" [14:32 min]
by Undecided with Matt Ferrell

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yhcyn_4cUc

Quote by UwMF:
"Apr 8, 2025
Why the Biggest Battery Company is Betting Against Lithium. Sodium-ion battery technology isn’t exactly new, but something interesting is happening. CATL, the world’s biggest lithium battery manufacturer, says that up to half the market could switch to sodium. That’s right—the biggest name in lithium batteries is betting against lithium. Looks like lithium might need to recharge its reputation. After all, sodium-ion batteries are nearly as good lithium, and salt is much cheaper and easier to access than lithium. So maybe its not surprising that CATL and some other companies are getting ready to manufacture huge numbers of them in preparation for what could be a massive market shift. But is sodium really the future of energy storage, or is it just another battery technology destined to live in lithium-ion's shadow?"

"A genius way to protect the ocean" [11:14 min]

Quote by PW:
"Nov 15, 2024
The Mediterranean Sea is in crisis. Once a thriving spot for biodiversity, it is now the most overfished sea in the world and, according to the WWF, is "on the verge of burnout."
Why? Bottom trawling—a destructive fishing method where nets are dragged along the seabed, catching or destroying everything in their path.
For our 21st Planet Wild mission, we're supporting a beautiful and effective method to stop bottom trawling and protect marine life: an underwater sculpture museum.
Many thanks to the five selected artists who donated their work to the museum: Nikolas Maniatakos, Maria Grazia Collini, Abdulkadir Hocaoglu, Stefano Corti, and Giacomo Bernardi.
A special thanks to Greenpeace, Camilla Salghetti, Barbara Farnetani and Santiago Burin Des Roziers for providing us with additional footage."

"Apr 2, 2025
'Just Stop Oil to Stop Direct Action Protests'
So where are we at?
Demand 1: No New Oil and Gas Licences – WON!
Demand 2: Just Stop Oil by 2030.
We need a Fossil Fuel Treaty.
Carry on emitting today and hope at some future date huge carbon sucking technology will solve the problem. Yet we know carbon is killing today, and global emissions are still rising.
Oil is more valuable than our culture, our heritage, our bodies. More valuable than the beautiful web of life on earth, more valuable than home."

Quote by OYW:
"Nov 13, 2024
According to the World Meteorological Organisation, 2024 is on track to be the hottest year on record. As sea levels rise and extreme weather conditions worsen we must ask ourselves: can we restore earth's stability?
Dr Johan Rockström, Director, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, believes that we can, but to do so we must all become stewards of the planet. Watch his keynote speech, recorded live from #OYW24, to hear the science behind how we can save our planet."
