Drought-friendly plant can produce rubber good enough for Indy race tires There's still a lot of petroleum hanging onto electric cars, specifically around the rims. It takes about seven gallons (26.5 L) of oil to make each standard car tire, and the world produces more than 2 billion tires every year. Now, some tire companies are turning to a desert shrub and a novel means of pulling natural rubber compounds out of it. It helps that the rubber that comes from guayule is not some weaker, paper-straw alternative—it generally makes a better tire, especially in heavy-load applications like large trucks, airplanes, and race tires. Bridgestone's Firestone brand debuted sustainable tires at a pre-Indy 500 pit stop challenge, and they were an alternate offering at a Nashville street race in August. Bridgestone tested its guayule-derived tires for over a year on Indy cars and found it provided "similar or better performance" than traditional race tires. https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/09/bridgestone-has-put-more-than-100m-into-eco-tires-made-of-shrubs/ -

10 THINGS YOUR DOG WOULD TELL YOU... 1. My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years. Any separation from you will be painful: remember that before you get me. 2. Give me time to understand what you want of me. 3. Place your trust in me - it is crucial to my well being. 4. Do not be angry at me for long, and do not lock me up as punishment. 5. You have your work, your entertainment and your friends. I only have you. 6. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don’t understand your words, I understand your voice when it is speaking to me. 7. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget. 8. Remember before you hit me that I have teeth that could easily hurt you, but I choose not to bite you because I love you. 9. Before you scold me for being uncooperative, obstinate, or lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I might not be getting the right food, or I have been out too long, or my heart is getting too old and weak. 10. Take care of me when I get old; you too will grow old. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say: “I cannot bear to watch” or “Let it happen in my absence.” Everything is easier for me if you are there, even my death. I found this and thought I would share to remind us all to treasure the pets in our life! -
