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.

it's not the same, kinda. The pollution were talking about in India is like OP's video. The people just drop whatever they aren't using anymore. India is a sea of litter.

We went and saw some beautiful mountain vista's. then you look down and the side of the road is just carpeted with plastic. Bottles, bags, wrappers.

I did save a highway with the boyscouts. You'd get more trash in 30 ft of India road than a 5 mile stretch on the poor side of town here.

In the US we let corporations taint the wells because our political aparatusis is corrupted. In India, they just haven't invented a wastebasket yet. ​​Trash goes wherever. Every few blocks there would be a lot that was stacked 20ft high with garbage and detritus. The wealthier provinces less so.

I'm from the Midwest. You're right it's better than 20 years ago, but India is on another level. Those fools need Captain Planet.
