THE CONVERSATION - Around the world, revolutionary changes are underway in transportation. More electric vehicles are on the road, people are taking advantage of sharing mobility services such as Uber and Lyft, and the rise in telework during the COVID-19 pandemic has shifted the way people think about commuting. Transportation is a growing source of the global greenhouse gas emissions that are driving climate change, accounting for 23% of energy-related carbon dioxide emissions worldwide in 2019 and 29% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. The systemic changes underway in the transportation sector could begin lowering that emissions footprint.

On Mulberry Street, they saw a quaint little building with a sign that said “Mulberry’s”. Debbie mentioned to her husband that it would be a neat place for an antique store.

His mother was moved to live with Tim’s sister, as now Debbie had to care for Tim himself, since he was now confined to a wheelchair
