     @jackofalltrades @adiz you don't see how city planning in a way that reduces the need for commuting and cars is relevant?

     @yogthos @adiz

     I don't see how that's relevant.

     The article you linked was about car tires being the biggest source of microplastics in the ocean.

     China is the biggest producer of cars in the world, therefore they contribute to that particular problem the most, and not the West as was suggested.

     The unfortunate truth is that they follow the same development trajectory as the West, and that includes extensive use of cars and cities built around them. Beijing is not Copenhagen by any stretch.

     @jackofalltrades @adiz I mean if you ignore the fact that China has top notch public transit, and high speed rail everywhere, then sure there's no difference.

     I also recall reading that 小区 neighbourhood planning idea is roughly modelled on Soviet microdistricts

     @adiz can probably speak a bit more on that :)

     Ahh the West's systemic addiction to cars, a trait meticulously duplicated by China, given that they produce a third of world's new cars (which is much more than US and EU combined), 89% of which are for sale domestically.

     Greenwash is beloved by all governments and corporations all around the world.

     @yogthos@mas.to Great, so automobile manufactures and the entire automotive industry and the West's systemic addiction to it are killing the planet the more ways than one!
     
     Don't worry, though! Just buy electric cars, right?

     Tire dust makes up the majority of ocean microplastics, study finds. Researchers say tire emissions pose a threat to global health, and EVs could make the problem worse.
