About the book:

Roadkill: Unveiling The True Cost of Our Toxic Relationship with Cars Explore the financial, social, ethical, and environmental impacts of our obsession with, and dependency on, cars. Learn how to change the way we use them.

Roadkill: Unveiling the True Cost of Our Toxic Relationship with Cars, by Henrietta Moore and Arthur Kay, discusses the philosophical implications of car culture, as well as the practical impacts it has on your money, your taxes, your neighborhood, your planet, your health, and your happiness.

The car has been marketed as a symbol of “freedom.” The authors convincingly argue that it has actually hemmed in our cities and incrementally restricted our choices. How can we break free from our toxic relationship with cars?

Henrietta and Arthur offer a new way of thinking that promises to multiply your choices, improve your city, and expand your freedoms. Roadkill is a persuasive and illuminating call to action for city dwellers, environmentalists, and policymakers — anyone interested in practical ways to improve your life and expand your freedoms.

Please note this lecture will be recorded.
