Physicist and science writer Laurie Winkless joins Wendy Nash for a conversation that gets to the heart of our daily lives: the invisible cloud of tyre and brake dust we’re all moving through.From Caboolture’s car-dependent streets to Wellington’s urban corners, we explore how the choices we make behind the wheel, the vehicles we choose, and the spaces we share can add up to cleaner air for the people we love. Because this isn’t just about cars—it’s about community. And the good news? We already have the power to make a difference.Check out our website for more info: https://getaroundcaboolture.au/tyre-dust-brake-pad-pollution/Podcast theme music: Doctor Yes | Yari | BensoundGetAroundCaboolture.au#CleanAirForAll #CommunityCare #DriveWithPurpose#SharedStreets #ScienceForCommunity #HealthyNeighbourhoods #UrbanHope #TyreDust#AirWeShare #PodcastForGood
