Found on Wordpress' 'Freshly Pressed' last week, though you guys might be interested. Quite illuminating on how traffic makes things awkward in urban environments, at least in terms of congestion and the space they take up.
(Written from an American perspective though). |

Would that be the case if they were all fitted with catalytic converters? (I don't count CO2 as any more of a "poison" than O2). |

I think yes. Don't Cats take a while to warm up and start actually working? In the meantime, "you have reached your destination". _________________ Soyez réaliste. Demandez l’impossible.

Is it not the case that, on journeys during which the cats do not get chance to warm up, they're actually more polluting than a vehicle without one doing the same journey? _________________ The human appears to have no idea what its ideal diet should be; has self-inflicted diet-related diseases; causes extensive environmental destruction through basic food production & creates pathogenic infestations that widely infect its food supply. |
