Some things are just so sad that you have to take a minute to get your mind wrapped around the reality of the situation. This video is one of those sad, environmental picture slide shows that will make you sad that you even own a computer. Please take a moment and watch this slide show…
Sad, huh? I think that until we challenge our own country to clean up their act, we should not dare to point the finger at another nation. What would happen if each country sought to clean up their own mess?
I know that because of big business and money, this would never happen, but I can dream right? It is so sad that our congressmen can vote Congressional raises in with no opposition, but we get to a clean water bill, and their backbones start to slip. No one should applaud China’s economy when they are destroying the environment in the process. No one should applaud their own country either, until change is no longer debated over, and the environment becomes more sacred.
It makes me mad to see those poor people in China working for pennies in less than ideal work conditions and with garbage strewn everywhere. Only the corporations and the government profit from this. The people and the environment are the big losers unfortunately.
