      Have to be careful on this one as you don’t want to cause more harm than good. Make sure it’s all focused on disabling pumps and valves while not increasing the likelihood of releases.

      Some idiots would go around blowing things up causing massive environmental damage when what we really want to do is just leave the stuff in the tanks it’s already in, or in the ground it’s already in.

      If only denser housing structures and public transportation and work from home didn’t all keep getting voted down and shouted down by NIMBYs so we had a better way. I get out and vote and write letters to elected officials. Not much more many of us can do.

          It’s possible to build nice apartments that have a good amount of space to live in. But that’s not as profitable per sq ft for the property management companies that have been buying up all the land.

          There’s also some minor regulatory reforms that are probably needed to allow a little more flexibility in building design, specifically around the required number/type/location of stairwells. But we have to be careful about that one because we don’t want to make death traps.

    Exclusively working from home since 2018 so I cut out 10 un-necessary driving trips a week. x2 since my wife is WFH now too.

    Installed solar panels to run the house during the day, so our working hours are fully solar powered.

    I guess that’s all we can do for now.

          Been doing that all my life. For that you have water tight bags on your bike.

          Also, you’ll have much more smaller supermarkets dotted all over the place, instead of one Walmart for an entire city. You just go and quickly buy the stuff you will use that day.

          It really isn’t an issue
