Paris residents to vote on making 500 more streets pedestrian

"Parisians vote in a referendum on Sunday to decide whether an extra 500 of the city's streets should be pedestrianised and greened, in a new push by the French capital's left-leaning town hall to curb car usage and improve air quality."

"This is the third such referendum in Paris in as many years, following a 2023 vote that approved a ban on e-scooters, and a decision last year to triple parking charges for large SUVs.For the past 25 years we've gradually been reclaiming public space for pedestrian traffic, for gentle traffic, and with 'garden streets', to create lungs within neighbourhoods, the places where we live."

"If approved, Sunday's referendum will eliminate 10,000 extra parking spots in Paris, adding to the 10,000 removed since 2020. The capital's two million residents will be consulted on which streets will become pedestrian areas. If Parisians vote in favour of the proposal, the 500 streets to be vegetated will bring the total of these "green lungs" to nearly 700, just over one-tenth of the capital's streets."

Trump’s #EPA clearly shows it doesn’t understand the assignment

The move appears aimed at increasing domestic supply as #Trump threatens #tariffs on #timber imports from #Canada, #Germany, #Brazil & elsewhere. #Environmental groups say increased #logging would decimate American #forests, #pollute #air & #water & devastate #wildlife #habitats.

And because trees absorb & store carbon dioxide, a #GreenhouseGas, cutting them down releases it back into the atmosphere, adding to #GlobalWarming.

#Trump has stocked the #EPA w/ #political appointees who have worked as lawyers & lobbyists for the #oil & #chemical industries. They include #DavidFotouhi, the nominee for deputy administrator, a lawyer who recently challenged a ban on #asbestos; #AaronSzabo, a lobbyist for both the oil & chemical industries who is expected to be the top #air #pollution regulator; & #NancyBeck, a longtime chem industry lobbyist, who is serving as snr EPA adviser on chemical safety & pollution.

The #EPA is emerging as a case study in the lessons that #Trump learned from his first term in office, when career staff members often thwarted his admin’s efforts to sideline scientists & repeal #air & #water protections. Trump’s allies promised that in a second term they would be more prepared to swiftly begin dismantling the EPA, the agency that played a central role in the #Biden admin’s strategy to combat #ClimateChange.

The proportion of people being diagnosed with lung #cancer who have never smoked is increasing, with air pollution an “important factor”, the World Health Organization’s cancer agency has said.

“Changes in smoking patterns and exposure to #air #pollution are among the main determinants of the changing risk profile of lung cancer incidence by subtype that we see today.

Scientists also examined the #brains of 12 deceased patients diagnosed w/ #dementia, & found that they had 3–5 times more #microplastics than normal brains.
…many #plastic items (bags, water bottles, tires, polyester or synthetic clothing) can shed small fragments or fibers that make their way into #air, #food & #water. Many of those particles are burrowing deep into the human body. Microplastics have been identified in the liver, placenta, blood, testicles, even arteries that lead to the heart.
