I enjoy recycling because it's a good thing to do, but once I learned colorful bottle glass and most plastics cannot be successfully recycled into anything more than pummice grit to mix into composites, the practicality fades. I'll leave it to the professionals instead, you are up to the task.

I've worn them for the last year or so and can confirm, they're some of the comfiest shoes I've ever worn for long walks, standing at work and their flexibility gives me much more agility. Genuinely great customer service too.

I'm very impressed that the Japanese managed to standardize PET beverage bottles into basically a closed loop system. I wish we'd done the same back in the day (and still theoretically could). It would be incredible to do so in the US for all beverage and soap bottles, alas.

Just do post processing at the transfer station. This is just shifting unpaid labor to us for little benefit as when scrap tonnage price dips, it all goes to the landfill anyways. You have the technology to sort waste streams to recover valuable items, wasting our time & clean water is foolish.

I, personally, would not go on the record with a reporter to announce I’m in favor of destroying the playground my kid is currently loving because I drive to work once a week (and the road still wouldn’t go there anyway), but everyone lives their lives differently I guess

Ryuka, 5, said he’d prefer to keep the park — and the playground — over a road during weekdays.
“Playground,” he said softly, avoiding meeting this reporter’s gaze. “I like the ship.”
Asked what would improve the park, which sits feet from Ocean Beach, he was decisive.
“More sand,” he said, burying his hands in the stuff.
Ads separate from the “no” campaign but featured on its Instagram page (opens in new tab) argue that car crashes in District 4 have declined since the Great Highway closed and that Sunset Dunes is the city’s third-most-popular park.
Ryuka’s mom, Denise Leo, 50, supports Prop. G because it would restore the road for weekend commutes. She drives Friday mornings for work as a library aide in San Mateo and wants the option of taking the Great Highway, rather than 19th Avenue. The pathway above the highway always worked when she wanted to go for a run, anyway. Or, wait, does she oppose G?
Told that a “no” vote keeps the road closed to cars, she paused. In 2024, she pointed out, it was the “no” vote that kept the highway open.
“I’m gonna vote to open it,” she said, looking at her son. “Even though he likes it.”

Japan was once crisscrossed by night trains. One by one, they disappeared from the timetables: the Twilight Express, the Hokutosei, the Cassiopeia… Today, only one regular sleeper is left 🌙 This week on Youtube, we board Japan's last regular night train, Sunrise Izumo 🇯🇵🚆

BART just set a new ridership record! We carried 254,248 trips yesterday. That’s our highest ridership day since the pandemic, a record we have been breaking again and again this year as more people want to take transit. Thread ⬇️

Every long distance Amtrak train should at a minimum be twice a day, on 12 hr offsets. From there keep closing the gap on some routes until we've got hourly service on some of the more densely populated routes with more new equipment and finer service.

Calm before the storm: a Northwestern Pacific interurban waits for sparse riders at Mill Valley, before the evening rush — 1938. The Golden Gate Bridge has been open for a year. Ridership is dwindling, poached by buses over the bridge. Though the end is nigh, the NWP's orange trains soldier on.
