    Breathing in Micro-rubber/micro-plastics from disintegrating car tires isn’t fixed at all by electrification.

    but even if you deleted all the cars, you’d still have small trucks, busses, fire trucks, etc.

    perhaps instead of saying no to car rolling things, come up with superior ways to roll things?

    cycles leave the same residue, their wheels are simply smaller.

      If transportation is necessary, find ways to mitigate emissions as best as possible. If emissions are unavoidable, use the thing with least emissions (small-tired lightweight vehicles) until you research a solution to a tire material that isn’t harmful (which is being worked on I think). Busses mitigate a dozen or two cars. Local rail mitigates a few busses and a few hundred cars. Essentially, personal vehicles should be small and lightweight, and essential mass transit or city services should be large enough to serve an entire area.
