"There can be no socialism on a dead planet" Catching up with Councillor Jon Burke.

**Apologies for some of the audio issues, Andrew had a night off**As the nights draw in and  the GND team snuggle up in our cozy, retrofitted, zero carbon  house of the future (powered entirely by the hot air supplied by Andrew) it's time for a catch up with the low traffic neighbourhood Santa Claus himself, Councillor Jon Burke of Hackney.This week we discuss the on going campaign to make Hackneys streets for people not just cars, the climate impacts of catering the world to cars and we debunk myths about low traffic neighbourhoods.Links Jons' article in the Huffington Post on electric vehicleshttps://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/electric-cars_uk_5fb64017c5b695be8300137cThe Hackney Citizen article on the journey from against to for LTNShttps://www.hackneycitizen.co.uk/2020/12/08/ltns-from-horror-to-acceptance/Shout outsClaire Stocks- XR and Walk Ride GM campaigner @stocksyatlargeChris Stark- chief exec at the Climate Change Committee (UK)@ChiefExecCCCScarlett West- Climate activist@ScarlettOWestAlice Toomer McAlpine - Manchester Meteor Co-editorIf you like the show tell your comrades!Find us on Twitter:@MCRGND_PODInsta: ManchestergndpodFB:MCRGNDPODSupport the show
