@daihard@sharkey.world Make it possible to WFH. Make it possible to walk. Make it possible to ride (electric) busses and subways. Make it possible to bike. Replace as many combustion cars with BEVs. Then the few cars that need to be in the city is not so much of a problem any more. Not even the few vehicles that need to be petrol/diesel will be a problem.

@a9ptmtqpzhje01oz@sharkey.world Electric cars are meant to save the auto industry, not the planet. >:(

@daihard@sharkey.world city centres need slowly closong off to cars, not entirely so deliveries can happen (ideally out of hours or perhaps AMs only) but mostly. Pedestrianise and rewild payments/sidewalks, the roads themselves. Safer and healthier for all.

@daihard@sharkey.world EVs just shift the pollution away from roads and onto where the electricity is generated, still dominated by fossil fuels. The pollution EVs don't address, which is hardly trivial, is rubber particulates, containing countless toxic compounds, from tyre wear. https://www.iom3.org/resource/the-persistent-polymer-problem.html

@daihard@sharkey.world Replacing cars with EVs = a good start Replacing cars with bicycles = ten times better Reducing our need to travel = the best way forward

@daihard@sharkey.world bike infrastructure costs so little and returns so much, it is ridiculous it's such a struggle to get it. Every traffic problem is answered with more/faster/wider car lanes, with no thought to simply reducing the number of cars on the road.
