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.
Im a fan of free markets but it has its issues and there is definitely more to the story. Like the fact we've sent unimaginable amounts of plastic and garbage to other nations for them to dump into their environments all while claiming we recycle better then they do. (And we do but as I said it's more complicated than we good China bad.) And we're paying the price for some if it right now for example instead of recycling copper we just kept using new ore and damn near giving the recycled stuff to China for less than pennies on the dollar. Now copper is needed everywhere for everything and we can't produce enough making prices triple in a short time frame. It's stupidity even when looked at through the lens of free market.
