0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:04.080
<v Speaker 1>The Chevy Camaro, one of America's iconic muscle cars. But

0:00:04.120 --> 0:00:08.000
<v Speaker 1>if you live in California or Washington State three Camaro models,

0:00:08.360 --> 0:00:11.160
<v Speaker 1>the S S, the Z eleven one, the one L E,

0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:14.560
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna be off limits to you starting January one.

0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:17.680
<v Speaker 1>The Camaros are being banned because of what's in their

0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:22.560
<v Speaker 1>brake pads. Ten years ago, both California Washington State enacted

0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>stringent laws to limit the amount of copper that automakers

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:30.880
<v Speaker 1>are allowed to use in brake pads. Well, here's the problem.

0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Whenever drivers apply their brakes, it kicks off a tiny

0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:39.239
<v Speaker 1>amount of break dust. That brake dust includes particles of

0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 1>copper and other metals used in the manufacture of brake pads.

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:47.920
<v Speaker 1>The evil, toxic brake dust then gets deposited on the road.

0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:51.239
<v Speaker 1>The wind blows it all over the state and then

0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:55.280
<v Speaker 1>all over the world, and ultimately this brake dust mixes

0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:58.640
<v Speaker 1>with rain, it gets washed into the rivers. And here's

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 1>the worst aspect of it all. Copper is bad for fish.

0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:05.200
<v Speaker 1>It messes with their sense to smell. It makes it

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:08.880
<v Speaker 1>easier for other fish predators to kill a fish that

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 1>have been exposed to break dust. So no Chevy Camaros

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:15.920
<v Speaker 1>for you muscle car fans in California or Washington, at

0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:19.480
<v Speaker 1>least until Chevy gets rid of the copper break dust.

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Bad for you, good for the fish. Do you believe

0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:22.880
<v Speaker 1>this
