An Austin bike shop owner on why the climate crisis isn't just bad for the environment – it's bad for business, too
As a local bicycle shop owner, I know the value outdoor recreation can bring to people's lives. It's not just because it drives my bike business. Nature has always been, and will continue to be, a place for people to seek refuge from the everyday stress of their lives. In Austin, we are lucky to be able to exchange the hot expanses of cracked concrete for nearby soft grass and shady dirt trails littered with squirrels and lizards instead of cans and wrappers.
The poor air quality created by methane and other air pollution from oil and gas operations contributes to smog and triggers asthma. It's not only harmful to the environment or the health of our communities, but it also harms our local recreation economies, which rely on the great outdoors. Our public lands are an imperative part of the well-being of the Austin economy, people, and wildlife, therefore, we must fiercely protect them.
