It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

And that translates to lessened pollution from concrete dust. The roads wear down, and when they do, it gets into our lungs. Yet another benefit of switching to bikes.
And that's even before considering the decrease in dust/pollutants from repaving like you mentioned:
Every time we re-pave, we spew a shit load of concrete dust/pollutants into the air we breathe. The less we do that the better.
Plus less concrete means less CO^2^
