One of the single most impactful climate emergency changes: Allowing front-yard and driveway businesses.

This would make neighborhoods walkable over night. New jobs in local places. Cafes, grocery shops, repair clinics, tool libraries, arcades, and beyond - right on your street.

Destroying oil demand, commutes, and car dependency over night.

This policy change can happen in as little as 3 sentences, according to Hazel Borys and Strong Towns. pHow can we make this happen everywhere?

Check out the full video, "Why Did We Make Front Yard Businesses Illegal?", which shows some awesome examples and gets into what we can do today — from About Here, Urbanarium, and Uytae Lee.

And share and boost to get people talking about this. This is one of the first and most important changes we can make, for climate emergency transitions. From a path dependency standpoint, it needs to happen first too -- making what we can walkable and low energy to start, and then seeing what we need.

When people trade-in their gas cars for EVs, their gas cars are re-sold to other countries and keep on polluting.

Tire pollution (the microplastics and metal pollutants that come off tires as people drive) is 2000x worse than tailpipe emissions, and EVs don't help with this.

3,000 pound vehicles for personal transportation make these problems inescapable.

The only thing that makes sense is transitioning beyond cars in general.

TwitterDr. Jonathan Foley on XFinally got an EV today. The Hyundai Ioniq 6. It’s costs about $7 to “fill it up” and even without renewable energy, it emits the equivalent CO2 as a car that gets 125 mpg in Minnesota. And it was cheaper (with tax breaks) than almost any other new car I could have bought.
