  1. "Amazon is worth $2 trillion. Yet, it did not deign to pay the millions of dollars it racked up in unpaid fines. Today we are making clear that no company – no matter how large or powerful – is above the law.”
    - NYC Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani, May 21, 2026
    You can send a video from your phone to the city, of a bus or truck idling, & if fined, you'll get 25% kickback from the city, $350!

  5. Vehicle idling fees

    Cars, trucks and motorbikes illegally pollute our air and force residents to breathe in their exhaust. Most motorists are seen fumbling on their phones while idling in Bellingen.

    Oh dear, We forgot to transition our mobility system
    Go e-anything now without the matching active mobility infrastructure.

    This fuel crisis could last for a while. It’s time for a new approach to fuel use – end it. >>

  15. "We are facing the greatest global energy security threat in history"

    “The war in the Middle East is creating a major energy crisis, including the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market. In the absence of a swift resolution, the impacts on energy markets and economies are set to become more and more severe,” said IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol."

    "Reduce demand:

    1. Work from home where possible
    Displaces oil use from commuting, particularly where jobs are suitable for remote work.

    2. Reduce highway speed limits by at least 10 km/h
    Lower speeds reduce fuel use for passenger cars, vans and trucks.

    3. Encourage public transport
    A shift from private cars to buses and trains can quickly reduce oil demand.

    4. Alternate private car access to roads in large cities on different days
    Number-plate rotation schemes can reduce congestion and fuel-intensive driving.

    5. Increase car sharing and adopt efficient driving practices
    Higher car occupancy and eco-driving can lower fuel consumption quickly.

    6. Efficient driving for road commercial vehicles and delivery of goods
    Better driving practices, vehicle maintenance and load optimisation can cut diesel use.

    7. Divert LPG use from transport
    Shifting bi-fuel and converted vehicles from LPG to gasoline can preserve LPG for cooking and other essential needs.

    8. Avoid air travel where alternative options exist
    Reducing business flights can quickly ease pressure on jet fuel markets.

    9. Where possible, switch to other modern cooking solutions
    Encouraging electric cooking and other modern options can reduce reliance on LPG.

    10. Leverage flexibility with petrochemical feedstocks and implement short-term efficiency and maintenance measures "

  20. War? Out with petrol standards. Maximising harm from vehicle pollution.

    What’s ‘dirty fuel’ doing to our lungs? The same as it did for most of 2025

    Why does sulfur in fuel matter for health?
    "Traffic-related pollution causes harm even at the relatively low levels found in Australia. Cleaner fuel means cleaner air – and cleaner air saves lives. Even short detours from that path should be taken cautiously, transparently and for as little time as possible." >>

  25. Mobility design for mortality and morbidity

    "Traffic pollution contributes to more than 1,800 premature deaths per year, study estimates. Vehicle pollution may contribute to more deaths each year than the number caused by road accidents."

  26. Children cut air pollution near their schools – by taking aim at their parents’ idling cars

    "Australian drivers leave their cars idling up to 20% of their total travel time, producing as much as 8% of a trip’s emissions."

    "Around schools, idling cars create pollution hotspots exposing children to harmful pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide and fine particulate matter. At the start and end of every school day, many Australian children head to the carpark or street to get picked up. While they’re waiting, they will be breathing in a mix of toxic gases and particle pollution."

    "But car idling is one of the easiest behaviours to change. Internationally, anti-idling campaigns have led to improved air quality. In Australia, the problem of idling has largely been overlooked."

  27. Wearing Christmas pajamas and enjoying a very slow start to the day. Sundays usually involve coaching running at 0845 and then rowing at 1. Neither are happening today and I plan to make the most of it.
    Might watch a film in a bit. Might play assasin’s creed 4. Might not.

  28. Driver of this 4x4 felt it was acceptable to park outside cafe, in front of people and leave engine running while they ordered takeaway coffees.

    Politely asked them to turn it off next time.

    Interesting head space to have ‘save ledge’ beach stickers but think a diesel puking fumes at people for 5 minutes is ok.

  32. CW: Nasty Evri courier

    Just had a run in with a local #Evri driver. She'd left her car to deliver a parcel but with the engine #idling, creating unnecessary pollution; also illegal given drivers must not leave their vehicles while the engine is running.

    All I said was, "you know you've left your engine running?" and off she went. I know, don't engage, but it's so infuriating how antisocial & inconsiderate these people can be. If turning a key is such hard work, how are they competent to drive?

  33. I'm watching programming language ranking videos on YouTube but will keep programming in Lisp or Scheme.

  34. The sun's out and it's not particularly cold. At least five drivers on the school run sat parked up, engines idling, browsing phones. The excuse of it being too cold so heating is needed/too hot so AC is needed wears a bit thin this time of year. So, why do it?
