A man in a blue shirt dances on a bus under a sparkling disco ball. Passengers sit and watch, creating a lively and playful atmosphere. The text reads "bus all the time, walk occasionally." It is a spoof on the Harry Styles' album "Kiss all the time. Disco, occasionally."

A person in wide-leg jeans and a white top stands in a room where furniture, including a sofa and chairs, is on the ceiling. A bike lies on the floor. Surreal and whimsical tone. It is a spoof of Harry Styles' album "Harry's House"

Happy Harry Styles Release day to all who celebrate! We took the liberty of putting our own spin on his album covers.

Snow storms always remind me: cities aren't loud; cars are loud.

Things are so eerily quiet without cars.

Not necessarily car-free, but think of the local popular areas that feature walkability: Bridge Park, Easton, Short North, Worthington.

Then think of how much space is used for car storage - street parking, huge garages, surface lots, etc.

Walking and biking connect you to your surroundings in a way that cars actively prevent.

Notice the changing leaves, a beautiful garden, ants swarming on the pavement, the smell of flower, the crunch of crisp snow. The beautiful details are infinite.

With Latest Rollback, the U.S. Essentially Has No Clean-Car Rules

β€œThe U.S. no longer has emission standards of any meaning,” said Margo T. Oge, who served as the E.P.A.’s top vehicle emissions regulator under three presidents and has since advised both automakers and environmental groups…

β€œNothing. Zero,” she added. β€œNot many countries have zero.”
