I try to tell people about this, but people are married to their cars and they're in denial that this is really a problem.

I literally cannot walk or ride a bike where I live. I will get robbed and/or killed and the weather doesn't play nice. Distances to places I need to go are also quite lengthy. Ordering stuff online doesn't solve the problem, they also drive vehicles with tires. It is out of necessity that people in my part of the world are reliant on vehicles, and I assume most other people in other countries are too.

This is a very complex problem that is extremely difficult to solve and shouldn't just be dismissed as people just being married to their cars.

However, I'd love to see a less polluting compound used for vehicle tires, which is also cost effective for the end user. In my country the railroad system is totally buggered due to crime and corruption, so there are trucks everywhere. Reducing reliance on semi trucks for freight could possibly reduce the pollution a bit. In my country at least...
