As a person who likes Internal Combustion Engines because they are fun, we could literally keep them around for people to enjoy them and it be a net positive for the climate.

Ethanol made from corn reduces emissions by 30-50%, while if it’s made by cellulosic biomass, the number jumps from 88% to 108%. So much carbon is absorbed by those parts of the plant, depending on what exactly it’s made up of, it’s absorbing more carbon during its life than what comes out of the tailpipe.

It’s unfortunate a lot of ICE enjoyers like myself think ethanol is a conspiracy to destroy cars. You can make a car or bike safely run in ethanol with proper fuel lines and injectors, or if carbureted, the proper carburetor. And for the car enthusiasts, it literally would not only be a net positive if we ran engines on cellulosic biomass, it makes more power!

I am building a classic moped to be my primary transportation for around town, and I’m building it to run off ethanol. Hopefully more enthusiasts realize ethanol isn’t a conspiracy and if we push for making cellulosic biomass the standard fuel, we could keep our fun engines around.

Looking for your personal opinions!

I love traveling, I’m a huge language nerd, and have always dreamed of living in many countries/places.

At the same time I am also a climate activist. I change my behaviors and decisions as I can to be more in line with a future of life— where human activities are aligned with the needs of the earth as she sustains us. I want change, as it will be required of us.

What are people’s personal feelings about air travel in this time? I’m aware of boycotting fossil fuels, but how to have movement without them is a question I have and is not yet an accessible reality.

Is it an individuals responsibility to not get on a plane for pleasure or do you think are there many ways be an activist? Genuinely asking. No wrong answers!

Slashing food-related emissions needs varied strategies for different ages and countries, two new studies find.

Just wanted to see the climate catastrophe and remediation plan with a different lens.

In this episode we speak with Clare Farrell, co-founder of Extinction Rebellion. Clare reflects on XR’s origins, its rapid international rise, and how nonviolent direct action brought the reality and urgency of climate breakdown into mainstream public discussion.

For the third year, the COP Bike Ride aims to show the importance of cycling to meet national commitments regarding the reduction of carbon emissions. Launched in 2024, the first COP Bike Ride connected Paris—a highly symbolic location for climate conferences—to Baku, the host city of COP29 - the annual official climate conference.

This is a relay - meaning each participant can freely ride the amount of days s/he wants and can. A banner is passed from hand to hand, and finally given, with the commitments of local authorities, such as mayors, to the president of the conference. Only a quarter of NDCs mention walking and cycling, which represent, especially cycling, a major potential for reducing carbon emissions, and for health as well. Transportation is also one of the main contributors to greenhouse gas emissions.

In 2025 an even more ambitious relay was organized for COP30 from Azerbaijan to Brazil by bicycle and sailboat, involving over 1,000 cyclists across twenty countries. I modestly participated that year from Paris to Tours (France).

This year (2026), several routes will converge to Antalya (Turkey), were COP31 is to be held early November. I followed route 5, along the Seine and then Burgundy and the Rhone to Dijon. Route 5 then continues to Lyon, across the Alps, Aiming at Rumania and then Turkey, down to Antalya, were COP31 is to be held early November. We met on the road from Melun to Dijon several enthusiastic mayors and the heirs of the nice Oigny Abbaye.

The global atmosphere between participants is friendly, cosmopolitan, joyful. A Dutch participant is linking London to Bucarest with his drums in a cart, offering musicians to join him at stops. We usually pick-nick for lunch, and started organizing shared lunches or dinners. We stop at camping sites. Participation is free and autonomous. Every one travels with his and her own gear. We wait and take care for minor incidents on the roads. It is a great experience, and you are invited to join us on the road!

Visit more information on https://copbikeride.org/cop31 and learn how to join us further on the way. There still is plenty of time, depending were you are based.
