On the regular: Riding my e-bike, strength-training, podcast listening, audiobook listening (Here's my audiobook list)
Listening To: The Power of Strangers: The Benefits of Connecting In A Suspicious World - Joe Keohane, Three Women - Lisa Taddeo
Experiments: driving my car less and riding my e-bike more, using a minimalist dumbphone, adding hyperlinks to the end of my blog posts
The sustainable mobility industry [e-mobility, micromobility, AVs, ride-share solutions, transit-friendly initiatives etc.] has become very exciting to me. I have noticed my interest taking shape three or four years ago when I moved to Utah. I started driving my car less, renting a scooter, and taking transit.
Last January, I started consuming content about it in the form of books, articles, and podcasts. It’s been so fun! I found a podcast, The War on Cars that I’ve been binge-listening to, read articles on TreeHugger, and finished the book How Cycling Can Save The World by Peter Walker. After podcasts, I will switch back to audiobooks, most of it on car culture, bicycles, and the future of transportation.
In addition to continuing to ride transit, I commute to work by e-bike. I hate my car and have no intention to drive it on the regular (for environmental and monetary reasons). I changed the name of this blog because I intend on writing more sustainability-focused posts.
Also, I switched to the Punkt phone as my main phone line! Punkt is a dumbphone that prioritizes privacy and allows me to solely text and call. I am hoping to use it to become more comfortable on the phone which, as an introvert, is still a challenge. I love everything about the philosophy of Punkt and the supposed trend of being anti-smartphone. I still have my iPhone, but it’s more of a tool.
