Comparing Households: Carbon Emissions by Place & Lifestyle

This is a fucking horrifying video. Enjoy your bacon!

(Okay, its only graphic for like 2 seconds so I don’t want to scare you, but it made me incredibly sad.)

The National Corridor Plan map identifies 50-mile wide corridors, both prioritized (numbered) and un-prioritized (faint brown corridors). The Plan can change, based upon state opportunities and interests, with new corridors or realignments. As corridors turn into routes, the lines will go from wide swaths of color to defined routes (see USBR 76 and 1 in Virginia as an example). Links to U.S. Bike Route (USBR) maps, state bike maps and informational websites will be provided as they become available.

This is great — United States Bicycle Route System. (Via @TC Streets for People)

This would be amazing!

the story of bottled water, & how it’s just another bullshit way corporations kick us in the balls and rape our environment.

I grew up drinking Lake Michigan (tap) water. I refuse to buy bottles unless its the only option and I’m desperate. Then I reuse the bottle, filling it with, you guessed it, tap water. But still… all that plastic, all that waste. Its so ridiculous.
