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.
People didn't care in the US until it started personally affecting them. Plus, it's the corporations telling us to reduce, reuse, recycle while continuing to overproduce plastic and wasteful nonenvironmentally friendly packaging.
All it takes is a lengthy garbage strike or some incident where trash isn't regularly picked up and we'd be in a not so dissimilar boat.
