In the last 100 years the automobile has had a profound impact on people’s lives and the nature of the built environment. Indeed, the entire global ecosystem has been altered by the proliferation of motorized vehicles across the surface of the planet. In a 2004 report the World Health Organization stated that “Every day around the world more than 3,000 people die from road traffic injury.” This puts the total worldwide deaths from traffic injury at over 1 million a year. This in addition to the environmental threat posed from the continued burning of fossil fuels, many people are coming to the conclusion that the dangers posed by automobiles far out weighs the benefits. Cycle-activism promotes the bicycle and public transportation as alternatives to the automobile. This Friday is the start of Bike Winter a series of events designed to raise awareness of the issue.

COSTA MESA, Jan 3, 2006 - An estimated 200 immigrant rights supporters demonstrated both outside and inside a meeting of the Costa Mesa City Council this Tuesday night. At issue is a new law passed by the City Council that requires the Costa Mesa Police to enforce federal INS immigration laws, a move that effectively deputizes city employees into federal service. Outside both immigrant rights groups and anti- immigrant groups faced off. While inside the council chambers both groups addressed the council voicing their position on the new law. One arrest has been reported of a speaker addressing the council. Details of the incident are unclear, but it was reportedly caught on video by local TV news crews.
