If sending 800 emails is the equivalent carbon released as biking instead of driving for a day then watching a 4k movie must be equivalent to burning down 10 acres in the Amazon. 🙄

I can’t see this taking off in my city. It’s tropical here and during the colder months it’s in the 80s.

People are not going to cycle to work because they will be drenched in sweat by the time they arrive.

when you cycle regularly, a commute doesn't make you sweat.
