Extensive usage of cars, buses and other vehicles drives the pollution in cities.

Why are cars so harmful to the environment?
The majority of cars are powered by fossil fuels, and the combustion of fossil fuels produces water and carbon dioxide, which is a major contributor to climate change. Among the exhaust gases derived from fuel combustion there are sulphur oxides and nitrous oxides which also pollute the environment.

Why are cars so attractive in a city?
Efficiency: Less time is wasted while commuting, and more time is devoted to work.
Convenience: Less uncertainty, more comfort, less dependence on external factors.

Why is productivity so important?
Nowadays, everyone is expected to be constantly in a productive state and never waste any time.

Why are cars so convenient?
The give more privacy and allow the user to have more freedom. Also, the comfort from being able to choose what to listen to, the AC, and having very comfortable seats is undeniable.

Solutions:

  1. Currently, there are Zero emissions zones for cars (policies)
    1. How can we combat this further?
  2. Encourage alternative modes of transport > Improving cycling routes and bike security (especially near public transport) 
    1. Cyclist facilities? Not just for storage but also for showering etc. which we perceive are the main barriers to people cycling to work 
    2. For the initial brainstorming (by Rodrigo), he followed more of a problem > solution > solution’s problem framework 
    3. Already have bike storage facility at Temple Meads, but not with showers

Why do I want to hold conversations in public places?
People find it more convenient and engaging to meet up in-person, often at pubs, etc. which are busy

Why do they prefer hanging out like this?
It makes people feel connected and engaged with an activity outside of the conversation

Why do they want to be doing another activity at the same time?
It creates a shared experience

Why do people want to share experiences?
It is a means of creating a shared bond between people that help them feel closer

Why do I like this?
It makes me feel comforted and alone

And why do I like this?
I need time away from people to recharge

Why do I need to recharge?
Although I'm very extraverted, I get anxious about things and have to process them on my own/self-regulate, etc.

Why do I get anxious?
I worry about being too busy and also get very stressed about household tasks like cooking

Why is cooking stressful?
I don't think I'm very good at it and am dissatisfied when a dish doesn't taste how I'd imagined

Why don't dishes taste how I want?
I don't follow good recipes

Why not?
I don't know how to tell if a recipe is good - I usually use star-ratings on websites but even when I follow a recipe closely, it doesn't seem to taste how I'd imagined

Why can't I tell if a recipe is good?
I am not familiar with what qualities it should need. I know spices should be involved though

Why aren't I familiar with the qualities of a good recipe?
I have never been taught and don't dedicate the time to learn
