But winter is the season that best inspires him, and he is full in the process of making the watercolors that are the harbingers of his temperas. He bundles up in boots, a turtleneck, a ratty forest-green hacking jacket with a ragged velvet collar, and a shaggy sheepskin coat.

And he should put this into the even larger context of his efforts...
...Healthier cities are successful cities. I would focus on increasing the amount of green space, because it is good for the earth and for our bodies. I might buy thousands of bikes, paint them a really ugly color (so people wouldn't steal them ...) and simply distribute them around a city." - During an interview with website Wordchanging.com...
