  • That's pretty crummy urbanism though, streetcars notwithstanding. Is this the 1960s?

    The streets are very wide - three lines each way - even though that capacity is apparently not needed. The car lanes are very wide and very straight, making the cars speed from red light to red light. This creates an unpleasant, dangerous space for pedestrians and cyclists. Steal one lane each side from motorists (which they can easily afford) and make a protected bike lane.

  • Regarding manure, Dr. Kassam explains that it is nothing more than biomass pushed through a ruminant’s gut, you can leave biomass on the ground and it will be taken in by “our friends the earthworms and termites”. The idea is that nature already has mechanisms in place to break down and recycle nutrients, these processes aren’t dependent on humans providing ecosystems with animals we’ve domesticated. He says, ‘So you have millions of little cows – if you want to have the cow image – in the soil already. But we have killed them. We’ve told them to bugger off with our tillage, destroying their habitats all the time. But they were there–put in there by nature to do the very thing which we then say “we need a big cow to do it”
