The car tires thing is proportionally an absurdly huge part! > In Switzerland, tire wear accounts for an estimated 90 percent of the microplastics released into the environment. https://www.admin.ch/gov/en/start/documentation/media-releases.msg-id-100009.html https://www.admin.ch/gov/en/start/documentation/media-releas... 90% (!) of microplastics in Switzerland’s environment are from tire abrasion. If we hypothetically radically banned cars, we would not only reduce landscape fragmentation, space requirements in public spaces, accidents and risks, damages to humans and animals, costs that are borne by the public, noise pollution and particulate matter air pollution, but also we would cut down microplastic emissions by 10:1!
