When people trade-in their gas cars for EVs, their gas cars are re-sold to other countries and keep on polluting.
(https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/21/africa/west-africa-benin-used-cars-climate-intl/index.html)

Tire pollution (the microplastics and metal pollutants that come off tires as people drive) is 2000x worse than tailpipe emissions, and EVs don't help with this.
(https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/07/09/tire-brake-tailpipes-emissions-pollution-cars/)

3,000 pound vehicles for personal transportation make these problems inescapable.

The only thing that makes sense is transitioning beyond cars in general.

With #SeaLevelRise. this will become a moot point. What I find interesting is how the elite and wealthy find ways to restrict access to land that isn't theirs. Typical #Colonialism!

Who Gets to Use the #Beach?
The wealthy have a habit of creating an unwelcome atmosphere on sandy stretches abutting their properties. The problem is that everyone is actually still invited.

By Duncan Nielsen

"For years, however, they’ve [the rich and elite] been acting like [the beach] is theirs. #Coastal landowners in the U.S. including Zuckerberg and Chan have a habit of redrawing lines in the sand, so to speak. In Malibu, access to Escondido Beach had been blocked for decades by wealthy residents the Los Angeles Times has reported used considerable resources to do so. Before, in the ’80s, owners of homes flanking an easement that led to the beach had fudged property lines and obscured access by paving new driveways and planting vegetation. But earlier this month, in a huge victory for the Coastal Commission, and the public at large, the easement is now being restored by the current homeowners at no small cost to them, redistributing to many what had been hoarded by a few."

#BeachAccess #PublicSpaces #Beaches

We are wasting space in cities. On weekdays:
– Many homes and gardens are only occupied during evening and night.
– Offices and schools of all kinds are only occupied during the day.

Cities are starting to react—e.g.: Some schoolyards are now open to the public when there is no school.

The Govan Docks are an important part of Glasgow's beligerant, proud working class history. But unfortunately they are also a mouth-watering location for building luxury houses for rich parasites. Property swindlers want to gentrify the fuck out of them, but they will not have it easy. Join the people trying to keep them public! Also, this looks like great fun. #GovanDocks #Gentrification #Glasgow #Govan #GiroBabies #gigs #PublicSpaces #RiverClyde #WorkingClass

What do you mean by #PublicSpaces?

An angry response to the impossibility to register to the "Public Spaces Conference" without entering surveillance spaces.

I wish the panelists were available on the public space of the #Fediverse to discuss it, rather than hidden in plain sight of the Twitterverse or the LinkedIniverse, all privately-owned companies from the global surveillance regime made in USA.

Yet, they talk about public spaces.
