Climate Change & Environmental Concerns - Climate change is framed as a series of natural disasters, aligning with proximity bias, where risk is considered nearby in time or space [9] - The amplification of the hydrological cycle, leading to whiplash between extremely dry and extremely wet conditions, is consistent with a warming climate [15] - A reconstruction of runoff in Swift Current Creek shows that 2021 was the driest year in 260 years, with the last time being 1760 [14] - The number of days with temperatures below -30 degrees Celsius has decreased significantly since the 1950s in Indian Head, Saskatchewan [5][6] Urban Planning & Sustainability - Collective imagination envisions idyllic modern cities without cars and trucks, highlighting a disconnect with current car-centric urban planning [19] - In Regina, 476% of private land downtown is used for parking, indicating an over-incentivization of driving [20] - Within 3 kilometers of home in Regina, all goods and services are accessible, walkable in less than 45 minutes, yet driving is preferred [20] - Helsinki has one in three residents owning a car, and downtown Oslo is essentially car-free, demonstrating the possibility of pedestrian-centric communities [21] - Southwood Circle in Winnipeg is under construction, designed with transportation by bike, foot, and skis, with workplaces, restaurants, shops, and workout facilities within walking distance [22][23] Consumption & Lifestyle - The solution to climate change is simple but difficult due to the love for a comfortable fossil-fueled lifestyle [24] - Social media trends like under-consumption and slow fashion advocate for consuming less, including cooking, wearing vintage clothing, hanging clothes to dry, and gardening [24][25]
