So many #teachers are passionate about #climateeducation but aren’t taking action in schools. So many climate education orgs are finding it impossible to engage schools. Why? Would love to find out what - except curriculum time - are the barriers so we can help. Pls RT &discuss

@raechel_kelly The argument that other people are worse is a very poor one. We all live on this planet. We all contribute emissions. We can choose high or low emissions - the fact that anyone aware of this issue would knowing choose the highest possible emission choice is what stresses me.

@PolleyMatt @AnimalRising So you're just trolling then. Bc any sport resulting in 170 fatalities/yr wld cause huge concern. For vv rough comparison - this study looks at sudden death in sport in Australia from 2006 - 2015. 201 sports related adults deaths. In 10 years.

@ryanhorsey @SaskiaHeijltjes It's not so much 'hogging' as reducing the width of the road between you and the oncoming lane so that the driver cannot overtake. Drivers should be moving into the oncoming traffic lane to safely pass cyclists. If they can't then they shouldn't be overtaking.

@SaskiaHeijltjes I'm tending to agree. In general, the electric cargo bike is a choice only for the well-off middle classes. That's why we need more free trials and loans of e-bikes to get a wider demographic using them and seeing how they're a great alternative to cars.
