BellingenNSW<p>Highway expansions and road widening<br>How America (Australia) Can Break Its Highway Addiction</p><p>"After a century of rampant roadbuilding, the U.S. highway network is ubiquitous, dominating the American landscape in bucolic rural settings as well as dense urban ones. Rather than being a tool for mobility, it has become a monument to an auto-centric lifestyle that fouls the air and depletes the public coffers. Neither the country nor the planet can afford to keep expanding it."</p><p>"At the federal level, even asking questions about the collective climate impact of highway building appears verboten."<br>>><br><a href="https://slate.com/business/2024/08/construction-traffic-cars-driving-transportation-highway.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">slate.com/business/2024/08/con</span><span class="invisible">struction-traffic-cars-driving-transportation-highway.html</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Sprawl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sprawl</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/roads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>roads</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/highways" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>highways</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/expansion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>expansion</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/cars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cars</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/automobility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>automobility</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/industry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>industry</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/asphalt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>asphalt</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Motordom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Motordom</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/MobilityDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MobilityDesign</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ClimateBreakdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateBreakdown</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/pollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pollution</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NSW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NSW</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/CoffsHarbour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CoffsHarbour</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/bellingen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bellingen</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/GlenifferRoad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlenifferRoad</span></a></p>

"argues that, under capitalism, the idea of personal belonging to a particular place or dwelling is often framed as being more important than many other vital attachments to place, such as connection to land. She uses the term “shadow places” to describe the ecosystems we exclude and exploit – including our forests and waterways – even though they are fundamental to our existence. These places provide essential labour, nourishment and the conditions we need to survive and flourish. For Plumwood, an expanded sense of “home” would encompass the broader ecological context we exist within."</p><p>" Indigenous Australian law scholar Irene Watson explains colonisers were already alienated from a sense of connection to land when they came to “Australia”.
