The identity sounds easy enough (if a bit invasive). The relationship… the kid’s birth certificate? A health insurance card? A stat dec? A cheek swab? That’s a lot of effort for a parent, and will they really want to turn those details over to a social media site?
It probably will be just a tick box.
About 48 hours. I did a 100km team charity walk that took about 30 hours, I woke up early and anxiously before it, and was too wired on caffeine to fall asleep easily afterwards.
While I’m a card carrying bike nut and plant-based eater, I feel we can make more of a difference encouraging people to do things that are less all in.
Work commute too far right now? Maybe start replacing the small car trips with bike trips.
Veganism unthinkable? Maybe try a meatless day or two a week.
Something people can wrap their heads around, and after trying, realise they haven’t died.
I live in a town of about 20,000. The adjacent regional centre (80k people) is about 35km away. We’re the opposite of snowy, we have highs in the mid 20s here right now in the dead of winter, high 30s to mid 40s with high humidity in summer. I bike commuted to the regional centre for years, but again, I’m aware I’m a bit extreme.
Agreed better public transport is also important. We’re lucky, our buses run about hourly throughout the day, you are a bit screwed at night.
