Pollution Of The Earth Is Undeniable

We focus on climate change, but the elephant in the room is largely ignored.

We are cutting down forests at an alarming rate. The ocean acidity is increasing and jeopardizing ocean ecosystems, The ocean is also being filled with trash, mostly plastics. Species are going extinct at an alarming rate due to pollution and habitat loss. Gross overuse of pesticides and polluting resource extraction of many kinds have put crucial aquifiers at risk of serious contamination. The availability of clean potable water is decreasing at an alarming rate world-wide, and people cannot live without water. We keep generating large quantities of spent nuclear material without any clear plan of how to safely dispose of it. And the list goes on. The ever-rising world population means an increasing pressure for continuing on this path of planetary suicide.

It is hard to imagine the human species collectively agreeing upon and following a more rational and sustainable path. Anyone who is familiar with modern science and has a basic knowledge of the well-tested laws of nature can confidently predict that our current path leads to several possible ends, all of them bad.
