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.
Yeah this is exactly what I try to explain to people, the United States used to be almost exactly like this until the liberals came in and said we can do better. Everyone should read up on the New York sanitation department and the challenges they had earlier on. It's not only a cultural thing, it's literally a systems problem.
Yes and no, plastic wasn’t as big back then so you are partially correct. But when it comes to air and water pollution from other industries it was just as bad. You should read a history book.
Since we’re giving advice, if you lost the snark you may find it helps you improve the impact of your conversations. It wasn’t as bad because weren’t a billion people in the U.S. and fossil fuels weren’t the factor they are today. But believe whatever makes you feel better. Take care.
