Bella and I went to the Metro yesterday. For those who have not read – or forgotten – my earlier posts about the place: it’s a supermarket for expats. Imported stuff, stuff meant for export to western countries; it’s all there.
The place was nice (bought olives), but the trip there wasn’t. We were on the electric scooter, so at least it was nice and quick and we didn’t have to go by taxi, but the pollution was murder. Both of us were coughing for the rest of the day.
We need electrical cars. Need them. There is no way this kind of life isn’t bad for our health. This is where cancer comes from. Polution from cars is the new limit on city size. It used to be food (how much can you import to feed your population), then it became transport (people didn’t have that many cars, so how could you bring them all to the place where they worked) and now it’s pollution.
Cars are inefficient. They use individual engines to get energy. Much better if the energy was all generated at one plant and then distributed to the cars; the economy and efficiency of size.
But also the health implications: why is cancer such an epidemic? It has to be because of pollution and in that respect, cars are number one.
