Is pollution really this serious?

@DianneN Interesting! How long were you there and was each day the same?

So true! But 9 million? That is way too much! Way too much!

@1hopefulman That is way too much. The worst I ever saw was in Xi'an, China. It looked and smelled horrible. We went from pure sunshine into what looked like a yellow, cloudy day.

Yes, it seems that some parts of the earth are in terrible shape. I looked at some documentaries and videos and it is not good.

@1hopefulman That's really sad

@FayeHazel

Do you think it will get better one day?

@LadyDuck That's really sad!

@1hopefulman No, because the politicians do nothing to stop the pollution. The buses used in Italy for the public transport are highly polluting because they are powered by Diesel. They should start to make electric all the public transports, but they do nothing.

It's horrible that e have let things go that far.

@bluesa

@1hopefulman it is, it is out of hand and factory owners and governments don't care.

Just lost a friend yesterday to cancer and he is younger than me. Something is wrong with this world.

@1hopefulman Sorry to hear this.

@shubhu3 Thank you!

I'm afraid to say but I think it will just keep getting worse. There is so much we can do but we are doing very little compared to the problem we are causing.

@peachpurple that is not good! We need to be the majority to reduce the severity of the problem. But, we will continue to do what we can.

@1hopefulman I agree with you, only 10% of people are doing something to help Earth

Thanks for sharing!

We see the problem. Do you think we will do something before it is too late?

@Bluedoll

@1hopefulman The earth will bounce back. The people on it well they will need saving.

It;s awful, isn't it?

@just4him

@1hopefulman Yes, it is.

You travel a lot and so have you been anyplace where you saw a lot of pollution?

@JudyEv I sometimes walk along the highway and it's terrible how much stuff is just thrown out the window. People are always throwing stuff along the rivers. It seems that to some people the whole world is a garbage can.

@1hopefulman We've really only been to Ireland, the UK and the continent and mostly we stayed out of big cities but we didn't really see any signs of pollution. I know friends have spoken of it in some Asian cities.

Yes, it is a very serious problem and we are not addressing it properly and doing what should be done. So sad!

@db20747 What form of pollution would you like me to comment on?

@1hopefulman how should we address it?

I went on the internet and there are enough documentaries and videos to see that harm and destruction we are doing to the planet. I don't want to be part of the problem but part of the solution and so I will continue to do my part to lessen the damage. I got rid of my car and now walk as much as I can and use public transportation if necessary.

@Behindtheguitarbar I don't care what anyone else is doing or not doing but I will continue to do my part as that makes God happy since it is his planet.

@1hopefulman protecting the environment is very important for us. We could do every small change to make our planet better.

I agree! We are creating way too much garbage and throwing it everywhere.

Is it really bad where you live?
