It makes for groovy slogans on the side of your bridge, but if said bridge were made using such selective science I would suggest it’s (the bridge) not long for this world, at least not at the height it’s currently at.
I don’t disagree with what you are saying but equally buying a V8 something to take your kids to school and planting 4 trees in your garden next to where it’s parked does not make it CO2 neutral either...

NOx and CO are locally toxic, CO2 isn’t... its problem is as a greenhouse gas.
