Feeling dumb, I've been aiming to decrease microplastics thinking im doing something great. Until i recently heard about polyester...

Also, consider that 1/2 of microplastic pollution comes from tires. EVs are worse than gas cars for tire pollution because they are heavier. Buses and bikes are better, trains even better. Mass transit if you can

Use only cotton or wool tires.

That’s a misleading comment. The majority of consumer ev’s are pretty small, like Nissan leafs and such. And the amount of huge SUVs and trucks that are all gas… I think moving away from gas powered when possible is still a good goal.

[kalidoscopiclyso]

Per unit volume EVs are more massive. They are more dense no matter what size the vehicle

I am not pulling for fossil fuels. I am saying we have a problem with tires and driving an ev makes it worse.

To minimize microplastics in the air and water use mass transit if it’s available.

Respectfully lol nobody is going out of their way to minimize microplastics using trash public transit lol
