  • I agree with the spirit of the post - the tanks Americans have been taught to adore are a bigger safety risk than a small car and I love my Smart. However, the Euro NCAP are performed at speeds not exceeding 60kph. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to require that in order to travel on roads with a 50kph speed limit, the vehicle will not crumple like a piece of tissue and kill the occupants. There is the separate quadricycle test which demonstrates the risks of these vehicles.

    The Euro NCAP also have the valuable pedestrian safety tests and extrication ratings.


















  • I think I read that these trees won’t grow again, because of climate change. They grew up in an oxygen rich humid environment and that’s not there anymore. Without these trees, the forests dramatically change.

    A notice posted on B.C.'s Forest Operations Map website shows the yellow cedar was felled in an area where Matchlee Ltd. Partnership, majority owned by Mowachaht/Muchalaht First Nation, holds a non-renewable forest licence.

    Remember this when someone says that the precolonial peoples should take priority in environmental decisions.

    ETA - but also remember this when anyone has environmental thoughts. Follow the money!
