For every kilometer you drive, your tires shed 1 trillion plastic particles. 78% of microplastics in the ocean are from tires.
What are you suggesting? That I stop peeling out of every parking lot and doing sick doughnuts!?
What I'm saying is that we need to figure out to make tires out of some unholy bamboo/cheese composite.
What if the roads were rubber and the tires were asphalt?
This was in a cartoon with the Flintstones once!
Or just go back to unvulcanized rubber
But the oil products! We gotta make the oil billionaires more billions!
10-4, rolling coal instead to impress potential sexual partners.
Maybe switching most of the transportation to steel tires on steel roads would help with this.
Rail is the dream
Yeah
