Day 1570 #Pedal2Work

A coolish ride into #Melbourne CBD, but after the warm day yesterday, it was still t-shirt riding weather. Most of the rain / damp from yesterday had dried up, but there was still some puddles on the main Yarra trail. Bicycle needs a clean again. 😀🚲👍

Heat, cold, pollution, noise and insects: too many apartment blocks aren’t up to the challenge

"Research shows how apartment residents struggle with the impacts of unhealthy homes. It’s a result of decades of urban planning based on fossil fuel use and high-rise building standards poorly adapted to the Australian environment."

"Our study involved residents of apartments in Liverpool CBD in New South Wales. They are exposed to particulate pollution from heavy truck movements tied to the Moorebank freight terminal, smoke from increasingly severe bushfires and a rising number of days of extreme heat each year."

"Buildings that are bad for health and sleep.This sort of housing is bad for residents’ health and wellbeing. It will also add to energy poverty for decades to come. Residents’ experiences reflect low building standards in Australia. Wanted: better regulations and development models."

This is cool, but cave diving is such a hard no for me! "At Tank Cave, where remains of the short-nosed kangaroo are submerged, the 1.8-kilometre return dive takes about 4.5 hours to complete." NOPE.

I doubt this kid Shackel knows anything much at all about nuclear energy and how much it costs to build maintain and run - let alone the expensive power it produces
