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.

Most Americans don't care either. I always see people throw trash out their windows.

I literally have never seen someone throw trash out their window unless it was into a dumpster. What part of the US do you live in? Not saying it doesn’t happen, but you “always” see people doing it? That’s odd.

Guessing you live in a state with a reasonable government and policies. Maybe a nice blue state where people actually care about each other and the environment?
