EPISODE 87: How to Save a Planet with Kendra Pierre-Louis
Added 2022-06-14 10:30:01 +0000 UTCHello, friends of The War on Cars!
It was a real thrill to get to talk with journalist Kendra Pierre-Louis for this new episode. It's a breezy, fun, wide-ranging interview about communicating urgency in a time of great crisis, whether that's traffic violence of climate change. We hope you enjoy it.
We'll have another regular-release episode for you this June as well as an ad-free bonus just for Patreon supporters before the month is out. Plus, we have some biggies coming this summer. On top of all that, we're hoping to do another meet-up in Brooklyn later this summer, so stay tuned for more information about that. We had a blast meeting listeners last year and are looking forward to doing it again
Thanks as always for your support!
- Aaron, Sarah and Doug

How do we point regular citizens toward solutions that can not only fight climate change but improve their day-to-day lives? Plus, what was up with that Kia ad featuring the dude who drives on a beach to save sea turtles?

One of the continuing frustrations with publishing a book about walking is that people still want it to be about Thoreau or flaneurs, not about “hey, let’s think about how to make a walkable world and life for everyone!” Too many people still don’t get it or can’t envision it.
