I’m not surprised. Americans alone traveled a staggering 3.26T (yes, TRILLION) miles (5.24T km) in 2022. [1] That’s a metric shit ton of tire wear particles leaking into the environment. This is a direct result of how shitty our cities are designed. Single zoned swaths of land. High dependency on car centric transportation. None to minimal alternatives for anything else. Massive subsidies for various road infrastructure across all levels of government. Billions of dollars of handouts (sorry, “subsidies”) for O&G industry which generates trillions of profits collectively… There’s only so much a single person can do. We need regulation at all levels of government. O&G and auto industries need to start paying reparations. Producers of plastics need to be taxed, regulated, monitored. Cities need to be redesigned/rebuilt. [1] https://afdc.energy.gov/data/mobile/10315 https://afdc.energy.gov/data/mobile/10315
