I just finished watching a documentary on the pollution in China.

I am utterly disgusted, seriously.

I haven really felt so strongly about protecting the environment till today (abit slow, i know)

60% of the river systems in China is polluted.

Heaps of people stay along those rivers and depend on them for food and basic water supply to survive, be in in terms of absolute survival or as a form of trade. These water systems are not just polluted with bottles and plastic bags. These water contain Lead, Hydrogen sulphide and other gross chemicals.

A mind-blowing number of these people suffer from illnesses ranging from enlarged livers to cancer.

Many European industries made the move to China to continue their lines because in Europe pollution standards are heavily regulated.

SERIOUSLY, how selfish is that?!

The European countries are so self sufficient, they are not only about to provide staple food for their people, they are even able to move up another level and provide people with the choice of Organic Food.

These developed countries are not helping the developing countries such as Africa much. A little transfer of technology between the developed countries and developing countries would not hurt to make this place more pleasant would it?
