This is a high performance interview with University of Oregon Professor Marc Schlossberg. Marc has a keen interest in "active transportation." Thats biking and walking. In the interview he identifies the many benefits to be gained by moving away from cars. The interview touches on social engineering - our car culture is a virtual essential part of our lifestyles and leaves most people with a difficult time imagining life without a car. Marc describes taking his classes to Holland and Denmark to see what life can be like with far less reliance on cars and also rhapsodizes the joy of safe and social biking even in the middle of large cities such as Utrecht and Copenhagen. Marc describes how his students took classroom learning into the community to design a new protected bike path to be built in 2020 from downtown Eugene to campus. The interview contains many anecdotal stories and reveals the strong passion Marc has for transforming our communities.
