Everyone should have a decent bicycle.

Solar panels that can be assembled as easily as an Ikea bookcase and plugged into a regular residential outlet could be coming soon to New Hampshire and Vermont. www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol...

There is so much #ClimateInfluence in veering #plantbased and, you may just find you are *amazed* by how energized and healthy you start to feel as a massive co-benefit. I highly recommend. #food #climateaction

It's time to stop pretending this system is working for everyone and start flipping the script on the real transportation issues in our communities. Big thanks to Lime for sponsoring Week Without Driving! Wherever Lime is available, you can save 50%, just enter the promo code AMERICAWALKS.

🗓️ Day 1: Flipping the Script with #WeekWithoutDriving 💫 Okay, real talk. What parts of your community feel off-limits when you cannot drive? Drop your stories below

Any and every U.S. city leader /local lawmaker who participates in #weekwithoutdriving AND shares about what they learn about their #cities and their own habits is having major #ClimateInfluence Walk, pedal, transit your talk for the biggest win ever. Thank you, @aldermanlaspata.bsky.social

And - later in the episode @eliseloehnen.bsky.social talks about the power in becoming « immune to culture. » I mean… imagine if even .5 percent of us could lean in that direction. Cultural immunity FTW #democracy #climateinfluence

« I foundationally believe this, as painful as this process is, that we are going to see the emergence of visionaries across many, many, many, many fields. » - @eliseloehnen.bsky.social This resonates from my #ClimateInfluence perspective, too. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

As this @grist.org article explains, wildfire smoke is deadly. This is why local-level policy mitigating the impacts of wildfire smoke is essential! Cities like San Francisco are working to update building ventilation and air quality alerts to protect residents. 💪 #cities grist.org/health/wildf...

Superb interview with @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social that cuts straight to the core issues of her campaign.

"A pole that can stand through fire, flood and storm—and do more than survive, it helps communities thrive." - @heidi-adams.bsky.social on @basestudio.bsky.social next gen #streetlights and a community-engaged #cleantech #naturaldisaster solution. www.linkedin.com/pulse/design... #Altadena #fires

Now that they have got an advantage, it’s their time to strike

Normalize riding bikes for short trips! #ClimateInfluence #NameAndFame

Five teenagers, two bikes

Not every hardware trip needs a trailer (or a car/truck). Most of the time, a milk crate or pannier can handle the job quite nicely! If only they would install bike racks so I wouldn’t have to lock to a tree. @thewaroncars.bsky.social

This was a great song and cool at parties 40+ years ago. It’s bizarre that it’s more on point today than it was then. youtu.be/lV5dbcOmw6I?...

I had a keycard for City Hall and the mayor's office when I worked for McGinn. Only actual mayoral staffers had that. If a contractor needed access, they could call ahead and a staffer would simply meet them at the locked office door on the 7th floor, it's not hard. So yeah, a low "wall" indeed.

Remember the #RegrowAltadena event I was sharing about 2 weeks ago? @heidi-adams.bsky.social @basestudio.bsky.social introduced their next gen, #solar-powered, #wifi - connected, #evcharging, #revenue -generating streetlight there. You should check it out. @coveringclimatenow.org #ClimateWeekNYC

"Californians are facing skyrocketing power bills at the same time, and wildfire related costs account for up to 13% of recent increases..." @theguardian.com today with research from @ucberkeleylaw.bsky.social How can communities become less utility-tied? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I love this song, but the best of it is Mick Fleetwood hammering seven shades of shit out of that drum kit, and beaming like a chimp all the way through it. Absolute legend. Go Your Own Way - Fleetwood Mac - 1997 youtu.be/p8Ojjn35kP8?... via @YouTube

#Foodpolicy has massive potential #ClimateInfluence I am a huge proponent of veering much #lessmeat and aiming for #plantbased transformation. Leaders who reflect that shift in *their own lives* are ones I would love to #NameAndFame Talk and visibly walk your climate values. #ClimateWeekNYC

#WeekWithoutDriving kicks off Monday, 9/29! From Walla Walla County to Central Oregon Community College in Bend—and beyond!—Cascadians are eager for safer, more accessible streets for all. Thx for leading, Disability Rights WA and @americawalks.bsky.social!

It shouldn’t be considered far left to believe in decency & democracy.

I mean ... this whole International Cures Day show (all 3 hours of it) will be available on the #KEXP site and app archive for 2 weeks. You must listen. So much joy and goth appreciation. #MusicMatters KEXP.org #TheCure | Thank you @djjohnrichards.bsky.social and Owen!!!

Find yourself voting for Mayoral and city council candidates who can visualize and see a way to this, friends. When you see such leaders, #NameAndFame their early efforts so that they know constituents are *supporting* them in #bikes4all efforts. THIS is #ClimateInfluence cc: #ClimateWeekNYC

Speaking of bikes, joy and loving up your own #cities - Peace Peloton has a really fun ride/party planned for Oct. 4. #Seattle www.peacepeloton.com/fresh-air. #ClimateInfluence #Bikes4All

And, #foodpolicy is #ClimateInfluence For schools, hospitals, and corporate catering/food service (See @nycfood.bsky.social #PlantPoweredCarbonChallenge www.nyc.gov/site/foodpol... ) I'm actively looking to #NameAndFame leaders who *are* integrating this talk into policies. #ClimateWeekNYC

Big shout to @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social by none other than climate giant @billmckibben.bsky.social - in the @newyorker.com. Wilson, like Wu and Mamdani, is at the vanguard of the future Democratic party we could have. Let's get her elected! www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Stop every campaign/effort telling people on bicycles/pedestrians and anyone outside the car how to be safe and divert ALL resources to remove every opportunity for drivers to be dangerous.

Another achingly beautiful piece on mothering against the "apocalypse," from @emilyraboteau.bsky.social. Among The Ruins via Broadcast of @pioneerwork.bsky.social. #climateweeknyc #heat #climatecrisis #Rome #NYC #trees pioneerworks.org/broadcast/am...

Speaking of #cities #leadership #JOY and #ClimateInfluence - @iamdavidmiller.bsky.social and I talked about this on a Cities 1.5 #podcast episode earlier this year. lnk.to/S5E10 #ClimateInfluence #ClimateWeekNYC

Exactly why finding and amplifying the progressive #climatepolicy of state and city leadership is so needed. Watch cities like Columbia MO, Seattle (*when* @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social wins) and Boston. They may be few, but they’re getting stuff done. #ClimateInfluence #ClimateWeekNYC

International Cures Day on #KEXP !!! The dancing has begun. #MusicMatters

whoa. Every single one of the Sinclair advert buyers on this list is automotive or automotive related (insurance). That is one aspect of the power in our society held by car companies that I haven't seen studied enough.

Brillant #ClimateInfluence example here. Congrats @chicagocta.bsky.social (I loved riding the el when I lived there years ago!) This is how you do authentic, trusted, resilient leadership, #ClimateWeekNYC : engage as a human and with joy. #NameAndFame

On bad ankle pain days, like the ones I’m having lately, I’m reminded that my ebike makes the difference for me between getting out of the house, greeting folks on the trail, patronizing a local business and just not doing anything of those things. Ebikes are mobility aids!

👏👏👏 Paris built 115 school streets in a year. ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN. 😳😳😳 Edinburgh built one school street 5 years ago, and it remains dilapidated and temporary to this day

Proud to stand with @usclimate.bsky.social at #ClimateWeekNYC and deliver on a powerful promise: when states lead, the nation moves.

Ummmh - getting ready to record an interview and dancing is the best prep. Woo! Thank you @djjohnrichards.bsky.social #KEXP I recommend it. #MusicMatters

This is just so good… every time I hear it. Calms my nerves. #MusicMatters #TheSmiths #KEXP

The pressure on KOMO 4/Sinclair advertisers is working. Seattle Theater Group and Seattle Opera say they are no longer advertising on KOMO. More info on companies that advertise on KOMO is here: www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/s/...

We're less than a week away from the meet and greet with @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social 🍕🍕🍕 here on Queen Anne! Come join me and my friend Ingrid for a pleasant chat with Seattle's next mayor.

When I say "Seattle's next mayor," that's my natural optimism speaking. In truth, victory isn't a foregone conclusion and Katie needs our help. All of us.

Cannot wait to read this @billmckibben.bsky.social piece. Even before this exact moment, the emerging U.S. mayors have been very exciting from the #climatepolicy lens. I’m excited for @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social in my own city, but also their collective #ClimateInfluence is huge. #ClimateWeekNYC

Transit-oriented developments (TODs) in the Portland area generate far fewer car trips than standard estimates suggest—especially at sites that include affordable housing. A new TREC report, the latest in a long research partnership with @oregonmetro.gov, has details: trec.pdx.edu/news/psu-res...

Health and science reporters should lead the coverage of all these health-related conspiracy theories & newsroom leaders should keep their both-sides political reporters out of their way.

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

#ClimateWeekNYC - THIS is why the @cleancitiescampaign.org panel today with Mayor Hidalgo was so key. City leaders need to walk their talk and be seen leading by taking transit, riding a bike, and living a life of a an actual citizen. This is massive #ClimateInfluence. Thanks @davsot.bsky.social

Wow - there are a lot of creative agency folks, likely at #ClimateWeekNYC right now, who are on this list. My #ClimateInfluence MO is to "name and fame" as much as possible (!), but this list - with the receipts - is legitimately #NameAndShame Thanks @cleancreatives.bsky.social
