Many people would think – understandably due to it being the focus of much recent research – 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. #microplastics https://newatlas.com/environment/tire-wear-microparticles-big-contributor-waterway-pollution/

Antarctic krill are eating microplastics. What does this mean for the food chain? 🤔

NEW RESEARCH: just 3 weeks of #microplastics in drinking water was enough for them to accumulate in mouse brains.
Researchers also saw behavior & immune system changes.

💨 When you sell a car (even for an EV), your gas car gets re-sold and keeps on polluting and emitting.
🛞 Tires are the worst form of car pollution. They shed microplastics and toxins every day — which kill everything.
The only way to end the problems of cars, is to end cars.
Boost on Twitter too, so people know:
