13 years ago, Utrecht brightened our day with news of a Traffic Garden — something so basic, so common sense, and yet so amazing. Things are how they should be. Flowing with well-trained bicyclists is just one of the ways Utrecht succeeds with high-efficiency transportation, though. 9 years ago, Utrecht … [continued]

Business and biodiversity may seem odd bedfellows at first glance. After all, doesn’t it take every possible effort to create a thriving commercial activity? Strategic roadmaps.

Democrats couldn’t say it, because “Green New Deal” supposedly became some kind of tainted and negative phrase (I’ll save my rant on how to win messaging battles like this for another day), but the Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law combined to really basically become the “Green New Deal” … [continued]
