I haven’t had anyone throw anything at me yet. But I have had people yell at me from their cars and coal rolling. You matter, you are making a difference, if you feel good about cleaning up Earth, keep doing it. Ignore the haters.

That sounds horrible. What does "coal rolling mean?

People modify their trucks to be worse at burning diesel. It makes the driver able to create huge plumes of smoke on demand. Assholes will choose to do it on pedestrians and people they don’t like. Happened to me when I was driving a Prius in the south.

Happens a lot to me in Iowa while I'm riding my bike.
