"while shrinking our individual “carbon footprints” alone certainly won’t save the world — and that responsibility certainly cannot be asked of the least advantaged —
many of us do
have far more
privilege and power to reduce emissions in our everyday lives than we admit.
Many of us can walk, or roll, or share rides whenever we possibly can, rather than shrugging at how quickly we believe those actions will be dwarfed by a few dozen moneyed special interests."
How to protest #climateChange instead of buying gas daily:
Whenever you can, ride your bike instead of driving.
If it's hard, get an #eBike.
If it's raining, get some fenders, a hat, maybe a poncho.
If you don't have space, or need to bus, get a folding bike.
If it's scary, be brave, but stay safe.
Don't make excuses, change takes effort. Ask for help.
Vote, based on this experience.
If you can't, then don't. But there are trikes, adaptive bikes, and technology that can help if you want that.
Okay #biketooter, who has #ebike recommendations? I intend to use an e-bike in the USA for short commutes (5 miles round trip) on 35 mph roads, and maybe some light grocery hauling. I can ruck 5 miles with a 55+ lb pack, so in decent but not spectacular shape.
