Also particulates from car tires eroding against all the asphalt. (All the asphalt and other pavement is also an environmental concern.)
We're going to have to reconfigure some pretty basic aspects of our civilization if we want to prevent environmental disasters, and this goes beyond climate change.
Too many birds crash against our windows.
Too many earthworms die on sidewalks when it rains.
We use too many toxic chemicals, we waste too much energy and food and water.
We can change all of this. We can live in ecological harmony and improve our standard of living at the same time.
