Every year, billions of vehicles worldwide shed an estimated 6 million tonnes of tire fragments. These tiny flakes of plastic, generated by normal driving, account for 28% of microplastics entering the environment globally. Heavy vehicles eg SUVs/EVs especially. Via @us.theconversation.com

Car tyres shed a quarter of all microplastics in the environment – urgent action is needed

Tiny flakes of plastic, generated by the wear and tear of normal driving, eventually accumulate in the soil, in rivers and lakes, and even in our food.

In the Guardian today: “Nearly a quarter of GCSE maths and English entries are resits. This is an all-time high,” said Duffy. “Less than a fifth of resitting students achieved the grade 4 they need to break out of the resit cycle.” This policy is not removing barriers, it’s reinforcing them.
