Are all our issues tied to cars?
Here’s what I could think of:
- Tire particle pollution that is everywhere now
- Cancer and asthma from CO2 emissions
- Wars in the Middle East for oil (more people die from cars than have died in those wars)
- Debt from car loans
- Depression from being isolated
- Loneliness from not being able to meet other people easily
- Higher taxes for building roads (and maintaining them)
- Higher cost of land from inefficient use of space
- Higher cost of products from the use of inefficient and expensive semi trucks
- Noise pollution and hearing loss from constant exposure to loud noises
- Obesity
