Highway spending increased by 90% in 2021. This is one of many reasons why car traffic is growing faster than population growth.

    A car pollutes as its materials are mined from the ground and smelted into metals. A car pollutes when oils are refined for its various plastics and lubricants. A car pollutes when it is retired to a scrap yard to sit leaking oil until it is crushed and recyled (polluting through that process too).

      To be honest, I hadn’t even noticed that I was commenting in the “Fuck Cars” group cos I just responded to something that popped up in my feed. I’m not about trying to be disruptive in someone else’s house. I was going for humor more than anything. Sorry.

      None of this is true for busses. They’re made of and run on magic

        Buses service more people per pollution over their lifecycle.

          That’s a MUCH better argument and the one you should stick with.

              No his argument was that cars pollute when they’re not running and implying that buses don’t, you smug imbecile.
