The tire industry is similar to many other global industrial schemes in that it shares a common regard for ease of production over environmental cost. From its most basic methods of production to its most technologically impressive, the industry's exploitation of rubber has inflicted significant damage to regional environments the world over. At the behest of a demanding consumer base, these damages are popularly dismissed as necessities; ultimately though, humanity's desire for rubber-intensive automotive transportation and distaste for cancer simply cannot coexist. Likewise, all of the Earth's species will be negatively impacted if the modern cycle of rubber extraction, production, use, and destruction continues.
