A new study led by an international team of scientists highlights tire particles (TPs) as the leading contributor to microplastics and calls for urgent, targeted research to address their unique environmental and health risks.
Accounting for nearly one-third of all microplastics,
But EVs are supposed to solve everything!
Edit for the downvoters: I’m not against EVs as a replacement for ICE, but they’re not an endgame solution. We need to reduce the number of cars, period, whether they’re ICE or not.
Evs are better than ICE but just changing every car to an EV is not a solution and will solve very little, it only really helps with the energy parts of the problem. It doesn’t even address the amount of land we waste and pave for cars. People call me anti EV and a “climate change” denier whenever I talk about how EVs are not a good solution, despite me having gone to school for environmental technology and being far more knowledgeable on climate change and other environmental destructions.
The industry has really tricked most people into thinking the tail pipe is the only issue with a car. The EV isn’t here to save the planet, it is here to save the car industry.
Why would you want for electric vehicles to replace Inter City Express trains?

Nope! Instead, they save car industry profits!
