It may seem benign, I mean where's the harm if the reason you get moving or motivated to exercise and live a healthier life is a real person or an AI? Well a lot of the time the AIs aren't giving the correct or valid information, often they are promising unobtainable results, and very often they are being used to sell you something - something you may not need and […]
The City of Cape Town is looking to decrease the number of available parking bays, increase the cost of parking, and potentially introduce congestion charges similar to those used in cities like London to try to convince people to drive less and instead walk, cycle, or make use of public transport. As I say, being willing to make use of safe and reliable public transport, and having access to that […]
It has often been said that when all the focus is put on what individuals should be doing to 'save the planet' the 'bigger picture' issues get pushed to the side, that governments and businesses promote small lifestyle changes to shift attention away from more difficult reforms, such as transforming energy systems and regulating industry.

The study also found that temptation was the main driver for continued internet use, with feelings of pleasure and relief emerging as reinforcing factors. https://iono.fm/e/1703221 As we become more aware of how much time […]
Huis Mearua has all the challenges of other charity organisations but also has to deal with the fact that much of what they do has to remain, essentially, anonymous. Because the children they care for have been removed from their families and can often be the subject of on-going court cases, their identity cannot be revealed and, because Huis Maerua wants to allow them as normal a life as possible, […]
Experts say that the change in the duration of the rainy season, and more rain falling near the end of the season than in the past, is leading to a decrease in the length of the fire season in many parts of Africa. https://iono.fm/e/1702732 Read more here: https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/africas-wildfire-season-is-actually-getting-shorter-scientists-think-they-know-why/
