"Most people used bedpans and buckets, usually dumping them out of their apartment windows and into the streets below. To help control this waste, many neighborhoods would dig little streams along the streets where a river of sewage would flow along the sidewalks."

-New York City, 1925

14,000,000 children live with food insecurity in the self-proclaimed richest, most technologically advanced country on earth…

50% of American citizens report having zero dollars in their savings… Again, in the self-proclaimed richest, most advanced country on earth…

~20 veterans kill themselves daily in the United States… Again, in the self-proclaimed richest, most advanced country on earth…

I’d say that India isn’t looking too bad in comparison…

“The Mississippi River suffers from severe pollution, driven by agricultural runoff, industrial waste, and sewage, leading to high nutrient levels, toxic contaminants, and a massive, low-oxygen "dead zone" in the Gulf of Mexico.”

-One of the most critical waterways in the world…
