The Conversation - 3,200 deaths a year: 1 of many reasons air pollution in Australia demands urgent national action

Air pollution kills 3,200 Australians a year.
"Air pollution is the world’s single greatest environmental cause of preventable disease and premature death. In Australia, it’s linked to more than 3,200 deaths a year at an estimated cost of A$6.2 billion."

"Decarbonising transport will improve air quality as well as reducing emissions."

End
Killer mobility (Bushmaster like combustion tanks: SUVs)
Treating the Earth's air/atmosphere as a tip
Slash and burn 'plantation' forestry
Burning everything down before it might burn culture

Planning for Reduced #Emissions from #RoadConstruction
"The construction sector accounts for about one-quarter of global carbon dioxide #emissions. The main contributing factors are manufacture of carbon-intense structural materials, such as steel and cement, and heavy transport needed to bring materials on site. Many lifecycle assessments have evaluated the carbon footprint of road construction or elements of it. But few studies have taken a comprehensive view of options to reduce #GHG emissions along the entire road #construction #SupplyChain".

Gleniffer Road

“#Gleniffer Road closed between Roses Road North and Roses Road South intersections from 9 January 2023 - Late April 2023”
https://www.bellingen.nsw.gov.au/Services/Major-Projects-Capital-Works/Major-Projects-RoadBridge-works/Roads/Gleniffer-Road

Road closure, increased #traffic, #pollution and vegetation (habitat) clearing for four month. Smashing a wider, straighter road through the forest will encourage increased #traffic, #speeding and #roadkill. The stated rationale is to get more visitors to the “the popular tourist destination of the #PromisedLand. ” The 'Scenic Drive' might loose some of that picturesque charm, but one can get faster to the #NeverNever loo.
