| Comment | Fucking hell. This isn't about being on a high horse or better than anyone, or being a fucking hippy. It's about improving air quality and making cities better to live in. People need to stop thinking about convenience and start making personal sacrifices right now - I know it's uncomfortable: waiting about for buses or trains / subway, or hauling shit around by hand. Glasgow is practically a garden city and can get even better, has amazing public transport (Aye, screw Firstbus, I know), but the quicker we get cars out of it, the more amazing it will be. Other European cities are doing this, and we ought to join them.
Listen, go try living in Malta and see what it's like when everyone drives around all the time and can't park anywhere. Because, I moved there and developed asthma and contact dermatitis because of the air pollution, nor could I even play football out in the open because the air was so bad, and eventually had to back to Scotland. I refuse to let that happen here in Glasgow, or Edinburgh where i'm living right now.
Again, don't tell me I'm up some where on some high horse because I'm not. |
