FairTrade, pollution, and ... bronchs

When FairTrade started it seemed a bit of a joke.  Now it competes in the marketplace of goods, and in the marketplace of ideas.



Their first offerings of tea were a bit rough, rather like drinking brewed straw, but now products are excellent.  I especially appreciate the quality of wine, coffee, and chocolate.

When it comes to reducing pollution by cycling, it is too easy to think that our efforts are insignificant but they do make a cumulative difference.  What might appear token begins to affect change.  And there is change.

New roads include cycle tracks.  Cities are evolving cycle-friendly infrastructure.  Disused railway tracks are converted into cycleways.  But as yet radical design is unsupported.

We desperately need ideas like SkyCycle and the bronchs to be built now.

I wish,
Elder Adok
