    How many cars do I have to pass before they understand that’s it’s the slowest way to get around in a city? (Not to mention the pollution and the impact on air quality) – mjesto: Theatre Royal du Parc

  2. People will push back because people will be people and haters gonna hate. Remember: they also pushed back on forbidding cigarettes in bars and restaurants. Old habits die hard. But we don’t have the luxury of time anymore to change our cities.

  3. Let’s do this. Remember: “Don’t ask for permission, ask for forgiveness” Otherwise the status quo will always win (and our kids will die).

  4. In a true meritocracy, no one or everyone should get the same inheritance from previous generations. But no one wants to hear that. Your family name should not dictate whether or not you win the lottery.

  5. Revenu universel de base? Mais comment allons-nous financer cela? C’est utopique!

  6. In many ways people assemblies are the new churches. The place where people meet, identity issues in their local communities, and fix them together.

  7. This will turn citizens from being passive consumers that have become apathetic (and therefore increasingly likely to vote for extremists), into active contributors to their community. It’s a system change that will put people and nature before the GDP.

  8. To handle this transition as smoothly as possible (without violent authoritarian regimes), we urgently need to create people assemblies in every village, town, city where we can meet our neighbors again, split into working groups and rebuild together our communities.

  9. When Rome collapsed, people went back to their province. This will intensify the decentralization phase of the world that was started by the Internet. History doesn’t repeat itself but often rhymes. It’s a natural pendulum between centralizing and decentralizing forces.

  10. Collapse is not a bad thing. Civilizations have collapsed before. More than once. It will happen again. It has to to create room for a new civilization to emerge.

  11. At this point I’m pretty convinced that centralized institutions (nation states, multinationales) are heading for collapse. Institutions managed through PowerPoints and Spreadsheets have lost touch with reality. They do what they can, not what is necessary.

  12. I’m more worried about fascism than the climate emergency for this decade. When the boat hits the iceberg, people want an authoritarian captain. But more centralization of power will only make our society more fragile.

  13. “La mairie socialiste de Lisbonne, capitale verte de l’Europe cette année, entend limiter drastiquement la circulation automobile à partir de cet été. Une initiative dans l’ensemble bien accueillie par la presse portugaise.” “Les voitures s’éloignent, les rues se rapprochent.”

  17. That’s another reason why environmentally conscious engineers will increasingly relocate to Europe. It’s just a much better place to be if you want to reach many different cities with a low carbon footprint 🚄

  18. Really love the new homepage 😍 Adding hand drawings adds such a nice touch to it. It makes it more humane and natural 🌱🌿

    Day 6 training: We are all unique. Your individual awareness of who you are in the world matters to find out how you can contribute to it. All parts of the world are in you in a unique mix. Be in touch with that inner self to see the whole. 🌎

  20. This has been made possible thanks to the hard work of the collective that has raised £30k to cover printing expenses of groups for climate justice in the UK. More info:

  21. This is why I moved to Brussels 👇 “We talk about the European Union as a collection of 27 nation-states. In reality, it’s better understood as a hyperconnected network of 800 cities.”
