My 5-yr old and I built a bunch of LEGO creations for an Earth Day window display at a local bookshop. We sat on the floor snapping together wind turbine blades and solar arrays while watching a documentary about wind farms. I have never been happier.

Background: a sign reading "Active Transportation: Walk, Bike, and Roll Toward A Greener Healthier Future" Foreground: LEGO mini figures riding bicycles.

Story time at the library today was all about tree planting and care! Our special guest? A native white pine seedling who rolled in... by bike, of course!

I dont own an EV, but would be vastly more interested in a small $9k car than a large $40k one, to say nothing of the monster trucks that most American automakers are churning out www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I recommend that everyone who cares about the future of transportation in Massachusetts tune into the Route 2 Corridor Study on Tuesday, February 20th at 6:00pm. The question: Should we be widening a highway that funnels cars into Cambridge, Somerville, and Boston? www.mass.gov/event/route-...

Slide Title: Eastern Area Alternatives Considered
Operational Enhancements
- 3rd lane considerations - entire corridor or at section locations
- Turn restrictions
- Signal phasing modifications
- Lane-use modifications
Safety Enhacements
- Signal equipment replacement
- Clearance timing adjustments
- Road Safety Audit (RSA) suggestions
Multi-modal Enhancements
- Bike accommodation (across Route 2)
- Pedestrian movement at key intersections

Keep biking! Some of the things I do in the winter are: - Dress in layers. I wear a wool base layer every day. - Invest in bar mitts and warm gloves. - I have studded snow tires that I put on around Thanksgiving and take off in late March. They really help with traction in the snow & ice.
