Eventually the plasticisers will break down and the tire will start falling apart leaving plastic dust every where; best for that to happen in a landfill imo.

Tires can't really be recycled and usually end up being burned for energy, releasing toxins and CO^2^ into the atmosphere, much like how most plastics aren't actually recycled either. In my province (BC), they have recycling programs but those also release toxins, just at a slower rate while in the close proximity of children (rubber surfaces in playgrounds).

Indeed; however, it is likely because of christianity that these myths aren't challenged and also likely what caused this greentext... if it's not fake and/or gay.

These AQI forecasts are adhering to the World Health Organizations standard which more heavily weighs levels of PM2.5 (Canada apparently doesn't at all) which can't be seen or really noticed in anyway except by those who are really young, old or are already suffer from respiratory disease.

PM2.5 is particulate matter that is smaller than 2.5 microns; so, anything smaller than most bacteria and mould spores which can't be seen by humans as that is ~20 times smaller than a hair. Because it's so small, it can reach very far into lung tissues and in some cases even breach cell walls. When levels are this high there is almost certainly damage being done on a cellular level if one isn't wearing proper protection and this greatly increases chances for disease such as cancer.

I don't know why none of the news services report this, likely because they don't know and the government doesn't report it either. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I seen an absolutely gorgeous sunset behind a superstore (canadian walmart) in an area that was about to be completely bulldozed to create more suburbs. No one will be able to see that again. Only dumpsters, fences and asphalt.

Anon suffers a hormone dysfunction, blames it on masturbation like a good christian boy.
