1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: The Chevy Camaro, one of America's iconic muscle cars. But

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: if you live in California or Washington State three Camaro models,

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: the S S, the Z eleven one, the one L E,

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: they're gonna be off limits to you starting January one.

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: The Camaros are being banned because of what's in their

6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: brake pads. Ten years ago, both California Washington State enacted

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: stringent laws to limit the amount of copper that automakers

8
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: are allowed to use in brake pads. Well, here's the problem.

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: Whenever drivers apply their brakes, it kicks off a tiny

10
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: amount of break dust. That brake dust includes particles of

11
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: copper and other metals used in the manufacture of brake pads.

12
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: The evil, toxic brake dust then gets deposited on the road.

13
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: The wind blows it all over the state and then

14
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: all over the world, and ultimately this brake dust mixes

15
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: with rain, it gets washed into the rivers. And here's

16
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: the worst aspect of it all. Copper is bad for fish.

17
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: It messes with their sense to smell. It makes it

18
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: easier for other fish predators to kill a fish that

19
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: have been exposed to break dust. So no Chevy Camaros

20
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: for you muscle car fans in California or Washington, at

21
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: least until Chevy gets rid of the copper break dust.

22
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: Bad for you, good for the fish. Do you believe

23
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: this
