The debate contents got deleted apparently

If you can restore the previous contents please do.

I restored some of it now, hopefully it's saved(?)

Hey really sorry about that, I'll figure out what happened. I swear in my normal use that has never happened or I would've fixed it! Regarding restoring - the nodes were indeed saved before allowing others to edit the topic. I made this topic https://ameliorate.app/keyserj/restored-cars-harmful that you can go to and download the JSON and reupload to your topic if you'd like to overwrite your current diagram (or you can manually add the missing ones). Here's docs for how to download/upload https://ameliorate.app/docs/features/more-actions#download-and-upload

Thank you very much! No problem, it happens...that's what early testing is good for – it probably has do with going to the settings, changing the mentioned setting and then returning. I will add some missing pieces from there, the concern I had was that if I add thing again or add more things, then these could also disappear so I also didn't add any more. Thanks also for the link, that is a really useful feature.

Solution

Ticket prices can be reduced

Problem

Their use is unhealthy

Detriment

This would mean more older people society has to pay for

Problem

cars are harmful to society

Solution

Making it very easy to rent bikes by showing share-bikes in Google Maps (no matter which country & region) and payable via GM

Cause

Car production causes air pollution

Problem

Nobody is measuring these so it would be difficult to improve or consider

Solution

Electric vehicles only pollute during mining and production as well as fossil energy generation which can take places elsewhere

Detriment

Climate change has a lots of current and future negative effects on health

Solution

One can spend less funds on reducing travel times for regions with good public transport

Problem

They require a lot of labor to produce which is needed for other tasks

Problem

They produce a lot of greenhouse gas emissions, being a main cause of climate change

Solution

Low Traffic Neighbourhoods

Solution

One can stop incentivizing and facilitating car transport such as abolishing fossil fuel subsidies, or limiting commuting allowances payouts to public transport

Solution

One can introduce car-free days and car-free zones etc

Problem

The overall work done would stay the same but work would be shifted to less harmful things; lots of work needs people

Component

This requires collective investment of materials & labor, e.g. via finance

Solution

Public transport & bicycle infrastructure can receive more funding

Solution

Public transport can be expanded & improved

Problem

They are inefficient compared to alternative transport modes

Cause

People get less physical activity like walking to a bus stop or taking the bicycle

Benefit

This would save many years of potential years lived / DALYs

Solution

One could develop a system that checks travel times (incl walking) to nearby places to assess PT quality and then create a map & tables

Component

More places get reachable more quickly more reliably via PT

Solution

Inactive transport can be disincentivized

Cause

They pollute the air

Problem

They require a lot of materials including rare minerals to be produced

Cause

Car use causes air pollution

Cause

Fossil energy production causes air pollution (regardless of whether car is electric)

Solution

Active transport (mainly cycling) can be supported & expanded

Solution

Free public transport days

Problem

It causes public health costs to rise

Solution

In current economics, inefficiency and large labor needs are good even if harmful

Problem

Electric vehicles require a lot of electricity which is needed for other things
