"We identified more than 30,000 tire wear particles in 24 liters of stormwater runoff from roads and parking lots after two rainstorms. In heavy traffic areas, we believe the concentrations could be much higher."

One of the biggest microplastic pollution sources isn’t straws or grocery bags – it’s your tires
Rain storms wash those tire shards into streams and ultimately into lakes and oceans. That’s bad news for fish and other aquatic life.

Growing up in the early 1990s, the ozone hole was a big environmental problem we all learned about. The world took action and the problem is receding.

The Antarctic ozone hole won't disappear until ~2060-2075, but it's not growing thanks to the Montreal Protocol phasing out ozone-depleting substances.
There's a chance recovering from CO₂ emissions will take a similar path but will take much much longer.

The shift is worsening droughts in some regions, intensifying flooding in others, and putting water resources on which many communities rely at risk.
