   Well there are still cars, that's probably the worst risk for pedestrians and cyclists.

   I thought so at first, but : > Earn rewards by opting into our privacy-respecting ads That's not what I want. My problem is with ads, as a dumb consumption catalyser and weak revenue model, not with privacy-concerning ads.

   Paris' emblematic Place de la Nation was just rethought, with several car lanes removed, larger green and pedestrian areas, and relevant to this article, no lights. As far as I know, it's now one of the darkest places of Paris, I

   For such a big, international and tech city as San Francisco to require a car to feel free reveals how poorly organised the US are in terms of public services. I guess the public transport system is almost non-existent. I'm glad my cou

    I wonder if the French civil nuclear electricity program that led to this level of low carbon emissions, or the TGV (high speed rail system), could be good examples of what you're asking for. Maybe the companies actually building the n

    One way is to reduce your climate impact to 2 tons / year and spread the word.

    What's the proportion of HN readers (and writers) that live in the US ? I assume it's a lot, probably more than 50%, correct me if I'm wrong. The US's impact on the climate is huge, an order of magnitude higher than any

    If you make a trip simulation in France you'll get the numbers from SNCF. E.g. try Trainline.eu. I couldn't find where they come from though.

    Thanks for these great resources. What I'm trying to do is, I believe, complementary to these LCA tools. I'm building a website https://futur.eco that bridges carbon models with our every day life as citizens. Sorry, i

    Paris is an interesting example. Car trips have a < 15% share. You can often hear this saying "Parisian drivers drive by need". This "need" can be : - listening to the radio - smoke freely - don't share a ride wi

    Same goal for me. In theory, no need to be rich to do this in France, non constructible areas are almost cheap... But the farmer corporations have a preemption right to buy all these lands.
