Oh my goodness…. these are devastating. I know that we all “know” that this is happening everywhere, but we’re often so trapped in our own cubes that we forget our daily connection to this tragic abuse of environment and life. Yikes.
A better way… we have to…
Thanks for sharing these. I think it’s definitely very important to show the impacts of industry on the environment. Interesting issue of National Geographic last month all about China. One article talks about the environmental damage being done. However, it equates American consumers complaining about China’s environmental damage to an addict blaming the dealer for his problems. In other words, America purchases A LOT of products from China. So by buying products from China (and other places where the environment is sacrificed) we are actually encouraging and funding the environmental destruction we are hoping to avoid. If people were able to make this link, I think they would change their habits/purchases. Educating people on what the impact of their purchases is (via these photos and other ways) is a critical step towards getting people to care, and then to act.
I read that as well Ryan – devastating stuff.
And yes Ashley, we sure do get caught up in our own “clean” world and forget what other places look like…
Wow! I didn’t know it was that bad. A question though are they holding talks about this.
How can I send you a photo of river Pollution in Bosnia and Hercegovina?
