Discussed necessary changes in individual mobility with my SO yesterday and he said something, which kept me thinking: "There are no ads portraying successful people commuting by train."

Radical thought: What if, in light of climate change, we ban ads for vehicles running on fossil fuels like we banned ads for smoking?

#MobilityTransition

"Connecting all European capitals and people through a high-speed train network" is the goal of a 🇪🇺 Citizens' Initiative. To succeed, it needs 1 Mio supports & reach a threshold in at least 7 countries. Currently most likely to reach threshold are: Netherlands (28.68% reached), Romania (12.97%), Slovenia (10.43%), Germany (10.10%), Croatia (7.61%), Portugal (7.49%), Sweden (7.47%).

#MobilityTransition

This happens every time when people try to solve the climate catastrophe with new, fancy technology. Bureaucrats will just do what's necessary to meet the numbers, so they don't have to introduce *real* change.
