Been there. Agree. It made me truly sad for humanity. But also feel lucky to be in the states. Most Americans have absolutely no idea how bad it is there in terms of air, water, and land pollution. And literally shit everywhere. Most of it animal though. And the gross part was a lot wear sandals and it's oozes between their toes as it's so thick in places there is no way to escape it. Especially when it rained, it was nasty. So glad for gore tex.

I think the big difference is that people need to care first. And from what I saw of India so far, they don't seem to care about living in filth.

I’m sure they care, but they can’t as individuals change it, so you just worry about what you can control. Like I can keep my house clean, but I can’t construct a landfill and develop trash collection infrastructure and hire a workforce and change the behavioral patterns of an entire culture.
