Yeah, kinda like Corn! It's in every dang processed food out there it seems.
Using it in a tire is not as bad as burning it. At least a tire lasts damn near forever. You can shred rubber tires and melt and mold it into decking and all kinds of other things.
Kind of like how styrofoam is a horrible choice for a disposble cup. It'll be used for 5 minutes and thrown away and exist for a million years as a broken cup.
But using Structural Insulated Panels to lay a building foundation is a good use for styrofoam because you want it to last forever in that application.
The real answer is going to be just living simply. If you can walk to your mailbox, then dont drive. Stuff like that on a real human scale goes a long way.
