I can't find any evidence that they were founded by her but she did help found the climate action fund which has donated a large amount of money to them as well as Extinction Rebellion

I think she's probably genuine but that's also besides the point. Whether she has alternative motives or not all that really matters is whether the activism is helping or hurting

Agreed

If this plays like wish it means you have to put the blue eyes white dragon in your sideboard in order to play it during competitive play

Of course this card would be allowed in competitive play but I think the idea of putting a blue eyes white dragon in your sideboard is very funny

Skincancer.org is my source for darker colors being better protection

I don't have the highest degree of confidence in it but it makes sense to me that absorption matters more than reflection because a lot of the reflected UV will be going through the shirt and onto your skin

That's why materials like linen aren't as good for UV protection. They're light weaves and let a lot of light through, still

Tradeoff is dark colors absorb more UV so it provides better protection from the sun

I'm sure everyone choosing to do this has their personal reasons. Personally it reminds me of why certain people go vegetarian/vegan: they think this kind of consumption is bad and they're trying to resolve cognitive dissonance. It's a way of creating new habits that more closely align with their values.

Another way it has vegan/vegetarian parallels is the social effects. Tips and tricks you find of social media can make it easier to do. If you've been thinking about taking the pledge then seeing it on social media can act as a reminder. Lastly, if enough people do it then it gets easier. But nothing groups, clothing swaps, etc. makes it easier for other people to participate in a virtuous cycle.

I doubt this will move the bottom line, but I do think it's a good thing and it doesn't need to be wide spread to bring value to people participating

Is this a thing?

From the article it sounds like a lot of the complaints are any delivery gig workers, not pedestrians. The gig workers are incentivized to go fast and bike recklessly in a way that pedestrians aren't

Some of the proposals the safety conscious people are suggesting, though, feel a bit harsh to me. I don't want to have to get a licence for a bike that assists me when going up hill. On the other hand, if people are treating these like electric motorcycles then vehicle lisencing makes more sense to me

As for the article, I felt like it was balanced in a way the headline is not
