🚨WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT🚨 EHBEA wants to congratulate @tvpollet.bsky.social on earning the EHBEA Award on Services to the Community 👏

My commentary on @bruceellis.bsky.social, @briemreid.bsky.social & Karen Kramer’s recent #BBS article (tinyurl.com/299yvjd5) is just out. I enjoyed the target article, and also the challenge of writing a response with data in it - especially keeping it all under 1000 words! doi.org/10.1017/S014...

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath 50 reasons to want more walkable cities.

I can confirm that this is great advice. I try to avoid flying within Europe where I can, as the trains good and are far more sustainable. Also, last time I flew, my luggage was lost! The Man in Seat 61 site has advice for pretty much every rail journey one might imagine. #TakeTheTrain
