super guests each week, who is next?!

if you don't want to do it for the environment, do it for the economic benefits!

Would you consider biking to school through Hampstead Heath? 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️ @greenschoolruns.bsky.social believes more people would opt for #ActiveTravel if additional cycling routes were available exclusively during school hours. Share your thoughts! https://buff.ly/3BA67nU

My work for @greenschoolruns.bsky.social has been challenging. Some doors slammed in our face by @transportforlondon.bsky.social and City of London. The Bike Bus this morning was a reminder that we are not alone in our journey for a sustainable city, and it can be very fun! @willnorman.co.uk

It was amazing! Such a joyous way to start the day. The school run in NW3 is horrible, and although every initiative helps, we need a concerted effort to fix this problem @greenschoolruns.bsky.social @solveschoolrun.bsky.social

@transportforlondon.bsky.social @sebdance.bsky.social @metecoban92.bsky.social We have the perfect bus route serving more than 20 schools in two school dense areas where the school run traffic is awful! Give us a trial and help us taking cars off our roads!

The Camden Bike is returning this spring term! Consider joining if your school commute takes you north from the Chalk Farm area. #ActiveCommuteNW3 https://buff.ly/42gcDO3

IT’S OFFICIAL! Resumption of Paris-Turin-Milan Frecciarossa trains from 1 April, booking open from today, fares from €35. www.seat61.com/Italy.htm

London is, and will always be, a place for everyone.🖤

For the first time since 1991 Bologna had no pedestrians killed on its road after 30km/h speed limit was enforced a year ago. Lives were saved, and the accidents that occurred are less serious and therefore used less resources (ambulances, A&E, etc): win win! bologna.repubblica.it/cronaca/2025...

New research from @solveschoolrun.bsky.social reveals the #AirPollution impact of the private school run. NO2 levels were found to increase by 47% when private schools reopen after school holidays. #SchoolRun

Active Travel!!!

www.corriere.it/economia/azi... e se fosse semplicemente perche` si stanno esplorando modalita` di trasporto alternative che non richiedono una macchina privata?

Any good podcast to understand what is going on in Syria?

I was thinking more like a talk between the admission office and prospective parents about the traffic conditions, dangers for health, school transport policies. I think we need to ask independent schools to take the lead with their parents and have this honest conversation early on.

"How do you plan to get to school?" should be part of the admission process, especially for families choosing independent schools with no catchment areas!

We need an alliance to stop this!!! @greenschoolruns.bsky.social @solveschoolrun.bsky.social

“Today, more parents in the United States drive kids to school than ever, making up more than 10 percent of rush-hour traffic. The result is mayhem that draws ire from many groups.“ www.theatlantic.com/family/archi...

Can we dream of having this as our new 603 bus?! www.greenschoolruns.org/603-bus-camp... @greenschoolruns.bsky.social

If you live along this bus route and support an expansion of the 603 service, join our campaign www.greenschoolruns.org/603-bus-camp...

from TfL: "If London is to move beyond car-dependency, bus use will have to increase, and fast. And that's why it would be a mistake to ignore the importance of the bus when developing healthy and liveable streets." This is why we want a better 603 bus service @greenschoolruns.bsky.social #603Watch

impressive!

Fantastic. One of the reasons we adopted WHO standards in Camden was because it was clear that the EU standards weren't stringent enough. As Oliver says, this move is vital because of the more ambitious action it demands. #AirQuality #AirPollution

The Rolle Pass in Trentino, Italy.

New here. This is my first post and this is an autumn photo I took at lake of Cei in Trentino #foliage #autumn #photography

“But you have to remember that every single one of those PCNs is a driver who has either carelessly, recklessly, or deliberately ignored the rules and put children in danger. I’m not prepared to accept that. If you do that, you will be fined.” HSS are amazing, they make a huge difference!

This is a wonderfully positive and encouraging point: to make a difference, we don't need to ditch our current lifestyle. Just swapping 1 car journey a week for active transport can make a huge difference! 🚴‍♀️🚶💪

Well done Active Travel England team for publishing guidance to help councils deliver "school streets" that work for schools and local communities. These schemes restrict motor traffic outside schools during pick up and drop off times, reducing congestion, boosting safety www.gov.uk/government/n...

Happy to in this space!!!
