"Tiny particles from the wear of vehicle brakes, tyres and roads already make up about half of the air pollution particles from traffic. This will be getting worse because our car fleet is getting heavier and there are no clear policies to control this pollution source."

I really enjoyed our event, "Pulling Things Apart" today. With our friends from Stiched-Up.
We explored the nature of manufactured goods, their materials, manufacture and fate.
Focusing on concrete objects is a great way to reflect on our economy, colonialism, commodification, vulnerability, planetary boundaries.

'Tire wear and tear revealed as a major contributor to waterway pollution'

newatlas.com/environment/tire-

'Many people would think โ€“ understandably due to it being the focus of much recent research โ€“ that when it comes to cars, the biggest cause of pollution is exhaust. But, in fact, wear and tear on tires has been shown to produce more particle pollution by mass.'

The Dutch government plans to cut Amsterdam airport's flights.

The government plans to reduce noise pollution and CO2 emissions by cutting the number of flights from 500,000 to 452,500 annually from November 2024. That is 9.5% below 2019 levels.

The announcement was made despite strong opposition from airlines that use the airport, one of Europe's busiest aviation hubs.
