France became the first country in the world to ban supermarkets from throwing away unsold food. Lawmakers passed the Loi Garot, which requires all grocery stores larger than 400 square meters to donate edible food to charities and food banks instead of sending it to landfills.

It’s not about the furnishings of the house, but about the fact that it is being advertised.

The most important initiative in debunking manipulation, lies and untruths concerning humanist-oriented urban planning and well-being.
Let's all support it.
Each of us can be the target of attacks by conspiracy theorists, and it is together, with the urban truth, that we will face them.
Go ahead!

But β€œdoing stuff” wasn’t part of the job description … Who could have guessed that this would be successful?

This new building advertises that it has more bicycle parking spaces than car parking spaces (as required by law).

War disruptions may send oil to $150 to $200 a barrel. Here's my advice for stock investors In his Sunday column for Investing Club subscribers, Jim Cramer explains how investors should navigate a continued surge in oil prices.

buying an e-bike during the pandemic was the greatest inflation mitigation we could find.

looks like picking up a lightly used EV before the EV credits were axed was the second.

The initial projections confirm the election forecasts, but the results are all very close around key thresholds. We won't know for sure for another hour or two.

It is certain, however: the revival of the automobile and fossil fuels was a flop for conservatives, the Trump war did the last 2-3%.

The polling in Baden-WΓΌrttemberg closed 15 min ago and the 1st results are coming in. Greens are leading by a slight margin over the Conservatives. The far-right is in 3rd place. All other, including the former left-wing SPD, are down by about 5%. Parties below 5% cannot enter the parliament.

Bikes!

Because no one says "everything fucking sucks" and wants to go be traffic in a car.

We killed our downtowns to recreate them in malls surrounded by a sea of asphalt parking.

Love seeing this. There's a place for acoustic bikes, but the beauty of e-cargo is how it makes utility cycling accessible.

They've welcomed so many people into the mobility movement who would never swap a car trip for a bike trip otherwise, my household included.

Acoustic got a flat so did the grocery shopping with the ebike. Kinda unnecessary but made whether I could haul the 30lb bag of dog food a no-brainer.

Bikes keep your store in the riders mental map. For the benefit of the hole local economy.

Cars isolate your store on Google Maps. From there to Amazon is just a click away.

Quickly shot from the hip using existing materials. Feel free to contact me if interested. I have more.

The density of coverage in Central Europe is already quite good.

Where white spots can be seen in Germany, Austria, Denmark, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic, real mountains, marshland, or extremely rural areas are to blame.

However, the quality is often lacking.
