Thought
Provoking: At the hands of forward thinking scientists, ever improving
technologies, and sometimes just pure luck, new discoveries and new
knowledge
occasionally reveals itself, causing us to reflect . . . "perhaps
mankind still has a lot to learn about this universe we all call home!

Pollution Perspective:
Who are the 'Smoking
Gun' Polluters?
#1 China
Over the last few years China has experienced unprecedented economic
development and growth . . . unchecked and unregulated.
As with any industrialized nation, growth and development have a
cost. Today, the air in many of China's industrialized cities
is nearly impossible to breathe. So how bad is it?
-
Cars and trucks drive with
headlights on during the day
-
People must wear face masks on the
streets
-
Residents wake-up in the mornings
with faces covered with soot
-
Lung and skin disorders are
running rampant as is cancers
-
Soil in urban areas is chemically
damaged and plants are mutated
-
Nearly 90% of China's fresh water
is chemically polluted
No regulations:
Trucks in
China burn diesel fuel contaminated with more than 130 times the
pollution-causing sulfur then is allowed in diesel fuels used in the
United States.
Left unchecked, in less than 25 years China will produce more than
twice the pollution of all of the developed nations on Earth . . .
combined!
