We may not be all one, but each is one of a kind within our species. And unfortunately it is not about moral anymore, even though it is necessary. To break the system of pollution and destruction we have crossed the line already. It's too late to reverse it, all we could do is keep it at that level.
But is that even possible when profit is the most important thing among those who are accountable? And I agree with you, to start with oneself is key too but the big players need to act big in the first place.
Next to us is a BASF plant. I would think that my part of keeping the surrounding clean fades when looking at this chemical monster company and what comes out of it. And this is just one example.
But hope drives me, even though rational we are screwed. Either way, here's a big hug for you 🤗 and thx for your thoughtful comment 😊 .
Oh having a plant so close to you must have an impact on your health. Here near my city there is also a big factory working with very toxic ingredients to make wooden boards out of scrap wood, many people from that small town have respiratory issues and cancer. I am amazed how they get authorization to work with chemicals in a city filled with people. Have you considered moving out?
It's a couple miles away but whenever the sunset is beautiful red we know it is due to air pollution caused by the BASF lol. But the pollution in other parts of the world where there are no regulations at all is even worse. Germany is doing better at this than others I guess. I spent some time in Michigan and knowing what was/is going on there with the water crisis it is not as bad here. At least not officially lol.
Germany is very strict when it comes to the environments. I admire their sense of collecting the garbage sortered out and the fines are huge if someone thinks that they will throw the trash mixed up. I hope all countries will take their example and recycle as much as they can
Well, the grass is not so much greener on our side, but yah, compared to other parts of the world Ger is trying. And the fines depend on where you live here. We don't pay any for example. But to show the flaws of our system it would be a post worth. Germanys halo is not quite earned but at least the awareness per se is raising. some of our "recycled" stuff also ends up here for example https://peakd.com/hive-196233/@bulldog-joy/544, recycling is still a business...sadly.
Wow, so much garbage in those videos! That's just sad.
