These things are disappearing because we all have decided to gather in the cities. We have adapted to the urbanization and we are not having any close link to the nature anymore. So clean water and clean air are things from the past while the greed of the oligarchs is something you can't think about when you are living a stressful life in a city.
Leave the cities is the correct answer to this issue. When you leave the city you start to realize that the so-called soft values really are important. In war people show the worst part of themselves and the life in the cities is nothing but a career war.
