If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

I’ve been warning people about cadmium poisoning caused by tire pollution for 20 years, and learned about it because of tire usage in children's playgrounds and alternative building projects.

Microplastic accumulation is largely due to tires.

It's not some political shit. It’s chemistry and biology.

Public transit and other ways to reduce tire usage are required to reduce the risks.
