      In a lot of the world people are car-dependent. So we must force manufacturers to stop making tyres that wear excessively fast. Which is easy for governments but difficult anyone else.

      And reducing car-dependency obviously would be the longer term solution.

    This is just particle pollution though. Not that big part of the climate crisis, but very unhealthy and a problem in cities as I understand.

      Yeah but the tiny particles are what causes cancer (I think) and can harm the immediate environment around heavily trafficked areas.

      It’s just all bad. Cars are way too pervasive in the world.

      A big problem in cities. Is already known to cause serious diseases in humans, and the research is only beginning now. We don’t know anything about the effects on wildlife.
