And that kicks off a fun episode about transportation reform, country club reps on city council who want to roll back this COVID era benefit.<\/p>\n<p>But the good things can&#8217;t be ignored \u2013 this idea started in 2020 and it\u2019s doing so well, it\u2019s here to stay. <\/p>\n<p>We even compare it to places like Glasgow to see how they&#8217;re doing similar stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Then, we look at how all this bus stuff is helping our planet. <\/p>\n<p>We talk about how Albuquerque is making buses reach more people, even though it\u2019s hard because the city is so spread out. We discuss the cool train that goes from Santa Fe to Belen and how they might make it even better. We also look at a new bus service in Valencia County where you can call a bus for free.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s not just about buses \u2013 we chat about how people are taking care of their lawns differently, from letting them grow wild to having &#8216;ugly lawn contests&#8217; in Australia. It\u2019s all about how different people are helping the environment in their own way.<\/p>\n<p>So, tune in!<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re also invited to hang out with us in real life! <\/p>\n<p>Check out ghostcoast.video\/creative to hang out with us Tuesdays at 11 AM.<br \/>\nAnd ghostcoast.video\/organizing Thursdays at &#8211; you guessed it, 11 AM.<\/p>\n<p>Find out more at <a href=\"https:\/\/not-safe-for-wonks.pinecast.co\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/not-safe-for-wonks.pinecast.co<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_5281\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-1924617-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/pinecast.com\/listen\/4bcb442c-08ae-45f8-885f-0f2cf734d4f2.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/pinecast.com\/listen\/4bcb442c-08ae-45f8-885f-0f2cf734d4f2.mp3\">https:\/\/pinecast.com\/listen\/4bcb442c-08ae-45f8-885f-0f2cf734d4f2.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/pinecast.com\/listen\/4bcb442c-08ae-45f8-885f-0f2cf734d4f2.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/ghostcoast.video\/blog\/?powerpress_pinw=1924617-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/pinecast.com\/listen\/4bcb442c-08ae-45f8-885f-0f2cf734d4f2.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"4bcb442c-08ae-45f8-885f-0f2cf734d4f2.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey, we&#8217;re transportationing here!
