Likes It’s much easier to go carless if your city has good public transit | Thought Shrapnel by Doug Belshaw .

This article by the World Resources Institute shows how important it is that there is an infrastructure that enables individual decision-making to take place. For example, I’ve been vegetarian now for eight years, and it’s much easier to remove meat from your diet these days even than when I started to so in 2017. Likewise, because of investment in EV infrastructure, these days it’s unproblematic to own or lease an EV.

The idea of supportive infrastructure, policies or incentives rings true. My own situation makes an EV difficult: cost of an EV & charging when tenement living. My current job needs a 40 minute commute by car, or a couple of hours each way by public transport. I hope that is offset by not having a car till I was 49.

The page lined by Doug is a great read too: The Most Impactful Things You Can Do for the Climate | World Resources Institute

In reply to Colophon (April 2025) by Aaron Davis.

As usual I am fascinated by your processes Aaron. Quite different from mine, so I have an itch to write my own colophon now.

I was also noticed you seem to have a taxonomy ‘series’ I’ve not noticed that else where. I am basing this on the links in the post meta.

I also wonder how you get on moving back and forth from classic to block on your two sites. To my surprise I am almost always in the block editor. Running some smoke tests on Glow Blogs at the weekend I was using classic for several posts and was a bit confused at times.

Mountainous landscape with Meall an Fhudair under a cloudy sky.

Meall an Fhudair, started bright, drizzle later. Cool breeze. The higher munroes had some snow. A few Cuckoos.Greenshank & Golden Plover on the higher ground. Frogs spawning in a pool in a burn, not in the hill pools yet. Little growth of heather or grass. Few flowers. Primrose lower down. Violets, wood anemones & purple mountain saxifrage (I think).
