Hello! I’m an inconsistent poster and consistent lurker! I like bicycles, tabletop role playing games, and being a mom. Plus a rotation of five to 10 other things.
I’m originally from South Carolina, lived in Scotland for 9 years and now just moved to Finland with my wife and two year old.

Now we know that we are in a #ClimateCrisis. We know both that urgent action is crucial and that transport (our cars mainly) are an important source of our emissions.
So they sell us an answer: #ElectricCars.
But although they are part of the answer. They are nowhere near the silver bullet we're told they will be. And other, more important and effective solutions are ignored meanwhile. Like #bicycles and #publicTransport
Comic strip, 4 panels. 1st panel: in the National Electric vehicle summit a speaker in a lectern says to a crowd "We need safeguard mechanisms and debate around luxury car taxes..." 2nd panel: a different speaker on the same lectern says:"we should ramp up our investment in battery material mining..." 3rd panel: A third speaker says "Tougher emissions standards and charging infrastructure are essential..." 4th panel: the speaker continues talking in the background, the crowd ignoring everything else but the speaker who says "it's the simplest way to lower our travel emissions." In the foreground, ignored by all, a mother zooms past on her cargo bike, with two kids and a grocery bag on board.
