We’re taking part in Big Give’s Earth Raise Fund, campaigning to EndBigCarBloat in Scotland!

We’ve got one last fact about why big cars like SUVs are causing more harm than good for our roads and environment…

Did you know...
Millions of cars on UK roads are now too big for standard parking spaces, with SUV growth driving a shift toward larger, heavier vehicles.
That means:
❌more congestion 🚗
❌less space for people 👫
❌and streets designed for smaller cars struggling to cope
👉 Our cities weren’t built for cars this size - and it’s showing.

Our campaign aims to use community engagement, communications, and local authority collaboration to build support for policies that target SUV size and weight.

And it’s time for another fact about SUVs' environmental impact...

Bigger cars don’t just mean bigger emissions — they come with hidden health and environmental costs.
SUVs are more resource-intensive to produce, and their heavier weight increases tyre and brake wear, releasing harmful particles into the air.
Even electric SUVs aren’t impact-free — battery production relies on materials like lithium and cobalt, linked to habitat destruction, water pollution, and exploitative labour.
👉 SUVs aren’t just a street safety issue — they’re a public health and climate challenge too 🌍

Collaboration is key 🔑 and all donations go directly to creating workshops, briefings, social media campaigns, and local on-street polling to inform and communicate the appetite for traffic reduction, particularly for larger vehicles 👫
