When people trade-in their gas cars for EVs, their gas cars are re-sold to other countries and keep on polluting.

Tire pollution (the microplastics and metal pollutants that come off tires as people drive) is 2000x worse than tailpipe emissions, and EVs don't help with this.

3,000 pound vehicles for personal transportation make these problems inescapable.

The only thing that makes sense is transitioning beyond cars in general.

https://mastodon.social/@CelloMomOnCars/109910011510962064 I’m looking for suburban examples of this in the U.S.: “Cambridge MA wrote an ordinance that says every time a street is re-surfaced, they MUST put in the best bike facilities that will fit on that street. NIMBYs bypassed: now it's a law. They build a new bike lane every few months now.” #bikelanes #biketooter #WalkableCommunities

These extra wide parkways on Palmer St are lovely but inevitably cars park in that space between the crosswalk and the intersection. We need bump outs or planters or something. Time for some #TacticalUrbanism ?
