It would be a similar process to organizing a club, though the exact steps would differ between schools. Ideally you'd meet up at a common central location for everyone and then continue onward to school, picking up other students along the way at other checkpoints.

No buses in this post? I'd place them under chaotic neutral

IDK what the culture is like at your school, but if you're feeling motivated consider offering to organize a group ride to school to encourage others to join in. It could just start out as a one-time or once a month thing and increase from there if there's enough interest.

Is there statistical evidence of that? Mainly curious so I can arm myself next time someone argues about it.

Assuming the structure can support the weight, I'm all in favor of green roofs. Though, most buildings are privately owned and therefore are not true replacements for proper public greenspace within a city. I think it's also important not to get distracted from the primary source of land waste within cities: car infrastructure.

CityNerd posted a really good video on this topic a few months ago. https://youtu.be/H6UD9h3hEdk

His videos are primarily US-focused, but I believe this one applies for pretty much any country.

I don't really see an obvious solution here that avoids the need for a car, at least in the US (which I'm assuming you're in base on the kind of car you drive). If your goal is to ultimately ditch the car, depending on how frequent the trips are, you could potentially save money by renting a car just for the longer trips.

Google pannier bags. They're basically totes that mount onto a bike rack. Some of them even have straps to convert them into a backpack for easy carrying.

In terms of distance, I think you might be surprised by how far and fast you can go with an ebike. A lot of people only think about their speed when on the highway, but most of your time on the road is likely spent at slower speeds navigating traffic in town. So what bikes may lack in speed, they make up for in maneuverability.

Eh I'm not so sure I agree with that. Competent subway systems in rush hour tend to be completely full whereas cars in rush hour typically only have a single person inside. So I do believe it's an apples-to-apples comparison in the ways that actually matter.

What class are you taking? Cognitive Dissonance 101?

The comments in that article were quite the rollercoaster. My favorites were the people saying they never see anyone biking in their neighborhood and one guy saying that they should rip it out because there are more cars than bikes 🧠🧠
