Microplastics from tires?! 🤯 Yep, it's true. Tire Derived Aggregate (TDA) breaks down into tiny plastic particles that pollute our water, soil, and air. We need to ditch this "recycled" myth and demand truly sustainable solutions for tire waste! #TDA #Microplastics #Pollution #EnvironmentalJustice
@mnpca.bsky.social now that PFAS is banned are you going to put a stop to the use of tire derived aggregate in storm water systems? It seems extremely counterintuitive to allow a product that's 60%+ PFAS to be used to retain and filter storm water which is then released to ground or surface water.

Scrap tire aggregate poses a serious health risk to our community. Tires contain vast amounts of PFAS, toxic chemicals linked to cancer, infertility, and immune deficiency. These forever chemicals don't break down in the environment, posing a long-term threat to our water, health, and our families.

Enough is enough! Corporate polluters prioritize profit over our planet's health, poisoning our air, water, and soil. They externalize costs, leaving communities to bear the burden of their pollution. #EnvironmentalJustice #HoldThemAccountable #CleanAir #CleanWater #OurPlanetOurFuture

Don't be fooled by the recycled label. Just because TDA uses old tires doesn't make it eco-friendly. We need to demand better solutions from industry & push for policies that prioritize #zerowaste & #circulareconomy. #TDA #WasteTires #EnvironmentalJustice #Microplastics #Pollution #Sustainability

TDA: Greenwashing or a genuine solution for waste tires? 🤔 Spoiler alert: It's more complicated than it seems. Tires leach toxic chemicals & break down into microplastics, polluting our land and water. #TDA #WasteTires #EnvironmentalJustice #Microplastics #Pollution #Sustainability
