Chicagoans call for better recycling, more public transportation as city designs 2022 climate action plan – Chicago Tribune*

“While climate change impacts all Chicagoans, we know that historic and systemic oppression has led to disparities for our Black and brown and low-income communities, meaning that these communities are especially vulnerable to climate change,” said Angela Tovar, the mayor’s chief sustainability officer.

The south and west sides have a natural recycling program, it’s call gravity. Carbon neutral too.

Be interested in knowing the demographics of the “Chicagoans” calling for these this policies.

But we’ll never know who constitutes these particular subset of “Chicagoans.”

Good idea– let’s spend more money on climate change rather than police. Next she’ll claim the lead flying around the city is getting hotter and therefore more dangerous. And there would be fewer car jackings if there wasn’t so much carbon dioxide in the air. Are Chicagoans really going to continue to vote for and pay for these nitwits?

Climate change! Scoff! They have plenty of recycling! It all ends up in the street! Chip bags, stoves, mattresses, plumbing.

Who exactly is demanding climate action? The 2/3rd of the city that isn’t the rich white lakeshore liberals? I find it suspect that the mother of the 8 year old shot by gang bangers yesterday is supposedly demanding climate action.
