Cars Suck! says car-enthusiast Ethan Tufts (video available)

In this episode, I connect with a fellow YouTube content creator Ethan Tufts with the Hello Road Channel for a conversation about his realization that car dependency really does suck and what he, as a car enthusiast, plans to do about it.

We also discuss the slow transformation of the streets of the Los Angeles area and how he hopes he can help to facilitate change locally.

Background:
Hi Everyone, my name is John Simmerman.

I’m a health promotion professional with over 30 years of experience and my area of concentration has evolved into a specialization of how the built environment influences human behavior related to active living and especially active mobility.

In 2012 I launched the non-profit Advocates for Healthy Communities as an effort to help promote and create healthy, active places.

Since that time, I've been exploring, documenting, and profiling established, emerging, and aspiring Active Towns wherever they might be, in order to produce high-quality multimedia content to help inspire the creation of more safe and inviting, environments that promote a "Culture of Activity" for "All Ages & Abilities."

My Active Towns suite of channels feature my original video and audio content and reflections, including a selection of podcast episodes and short films profiling the positive and inspiring efforts happening around the world as I am able to experience and document them.

Thanks for tuning in; I hope you have found this content helpful.
