Concerned about microplastics? Research shows one of the biggest sources is car tyres

    Can YOU please stop killing people? And I suggest that YOU stop being a drug mule.
    (Please address that)

    Systemic problems are seldom systemic, but agendas driven by the ruling class. Taxation and regulation have created the monster that USA (and other places) is, for instance in the suburban crawl, unlivable cities, and long distance shipping/transport. The ruling class bought off by the oil industry to ensure the growth of oil consumption over the last 100+ years.

    Close to zero. I haven't bicycled regularly since I was teenager, but back then I did about 2000-5000km per year, and a set of tires weighed ~1kg and lasted 3-5 years, and most of the weight was not scrubbed off, but part of the regular waste.

    No, that's still not fair.

    That's like saying; "On average, you kill 0.001 persons in your life time.", or "On average, you smuggle 100 grams of hard narcotics in your life."

    Wrong. Each person is not responsible for 1kg,

    Someone living in rural Tanzania is responsible for close to zero kg, and some people are probably responsible for dozens of kg.

    I really hate when people say "each person" implying that everyone use about the same amount, rather than an actual tonnage. Feel free to add distribution across nations, life styles and other categorizations after that.
