Hi, I was interested in finding out how much this compares to actually owning a car. I want to also use Modo, but I need to know if this fits my own personal needs so I can go ahead and pick up this. Thank you for your informative video! Nice to see a British Columbian as well!
Cost of car sharing vs owning: that's going to vary greatly from person to person. For our (family of 4), car sharing has saved us $$thousands. It is a subjective thing though. We only need a car from time to time & we have several Modos near us. I did try to cover your question in my intro video to car sharing, but I should follow up with more on costs, esp as Modo's rates went up this month: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UIVtyEb4gIk.htmlsi=IGNa6jxmXJrDAZSi
Not sure, but off the top of my head I think it'd be difficult to make it work, esp as Modo is putting up its rates in April (e.g. 24 hr rate goes up to $100 plus $1.50 innovation fee & taxes). If it's just local delivery I think you'd be better off buying an electric bike now that summer is almost here.
We see a lot of them - bees of different species. They come for the flowering plants, in particular flowering mint. This one stood out because he was staggering around.
Funny you say that. I think there is a data centre there. But I only saw dead crows. Not other birds. Others have suggested it's possibly an avian flu. That spot is the rookery for Vancouver's crow population, so hopefully it's not spreading if that's the case.
Dang, I just bought a 2005 lol...was hard to find information but I guess it doesn't need a hitch at all? Just slides on and screws? I was planning on reinforcements anyways because of how old it is anyways but that arm bar breaking is always the concern
That's right. No hitch required. We were pretty hard on that old trailer and had it a long time before it snapped. But that screw does weaken the arm and was probably why Burley redesigned it.
Thanks. The trailers have served us well. It was interesting making the vid, to see how Burley has brought in so many design improvements from one generation to the next, and yet missed what would seem obvious design mods (at least, to everyday end-users of the trailer).
This was almost 2 separate videos. At first, the video is a pastiche of car advertisements. At 02:39 I go into full product review mode comparing the 2 different models of Burley Bee we've owned. Finally, at 07:56 I talk about shortcomings and give my final verdict.
Andrew Weaver was a superb leader of the Greens. He seemed to understand that the economy, business and innovation could help with climate change. I miss his leadership!
The field was also wide open for a green jobs/low carbon economy advocate, with the BC Liberals (especially) and the BC NDP (somewhat) still clinging to fossil fuel industries of the past.
Who cares? This dude gave us 4 more years of Liberals. I won't forget that. He could have run under the Lib banner but he didn't. That shows you how committed he is to the environment.
Not sure what you are getting at. The 3 BC Greens backed an NDP minority government in 2017. Before that the NDP did themselves in. Watch my film Running On Climate - it covers that election. There's no way that Weaver would have run for the Libs, given their obsession with LNG. He did however defeat a sitting Liberal cabinet minister to become Canada's first Green MLA.
When I was 17 I took a 1st year Earth and Ocean Science class taught by Dr. Weaver at UVic. The content and his delivery had a lasting impact on me and it heavily influenced my path forward. Today I'm 32 and I work in renewable energy engineering in the Pacific North West. The political sphere has lost a great climate advocate, but the academic sphere has regained one. Thank you Dr. Weaver for your service.
Yes. He was a great subject to follow for Running On Climate, always eager to share his knowledge and understanding of the science. We saw that passion in his speeches in the legislature.
Thank you for your service Andrew! LNG still does not make any economic sense! Global price in Asia has dropped from a high of $20 in 2014 to just $7.90 today in an almost steady downtrend. Why are the Federal and BC governments still throwing our tax dollars in incentives at this disastrous white elephant? fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/fredgraph.png?g=E9HS
There's a glut of gas globally and the economic arguments of LNG are on increasingly shaky ground (pun intended). As the price plummets so go the royalties from BC's fracked gas. The Narwhal reported that tobacco taxes bring in more revenue than natural gas, yet more is being extracted, while we give away hundreds of millions of dollars each year in royalty credits.
