“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.

Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

A trip to New Haven is not complete without a trip to Modern Apizza. I signed up three young scientists for y'all to follow: @zmyxmu.bsky.social @ichiaravalloti.bsky.social @nico-theunissen.bsky.social Also: @jessicancross.bsky.social @jaimepalter.bsky.social @sparklemalone.bsky.social

Seven people sits around a long wooden table in a wood-panelled pizzeria. On the left side of the table, three women sit in an orange-cushioned booth: a woman with long braids wearing glasses and a grey cardigan, a woman in a grey checkered blazer and glasses, and a woman in a blue and white knit vest. Opposite them, a woman in a black top and a man sit near the back, while a woman with light hair and glasses in a pink blouse and a man in a black zip-up jacket sit in the foreground. Two pizzas are on the table, including a large one in the front center and another further back, along with white paper plates, pitchers of water, and glasses.
