i recently attended a training where we were informed that a degraded compound from tires breaks the blood-brain barrier in salmon and causes them to die.

    I was going to mention the fish. I didn't know this about salmon. But I knew that rivers that have bridges have a lot fewer fish around the bridges than they otherwise would/should. There is a type of tire that's better for fish (unsure how much better) but it's more expensive so you can guess how likely it'll become widespread.
