Environmental Impact Panorama

[peqkno]

Hey, let's make a thread about the environmental damage and pollution!

I noticed how much I can go about my day and not spend time thinking about these things* - or only thinking about it in abstraction like "climate change", "extinction of species", "greenhouse effect".
I find this especially true when living in a western developed country: that it's easier to keep environmental pollution and so off your mind (well, depends on where you live). That's my personal experience, correct me if I'm wrong.

What I think is useful to share:

• Images
• Videos
• Documentaries
• ... the usual.

Maybe think of it as an image gallery.

It would be especially interesting and powerful to see images taken by forum members themselves from where they live.

This thread could be a great resource for moving people into Stage Green.

Topics:

• Environment
• Pollution
• ...

 

Just make sure the images aren't photoshopped. This surfer in a trash wave for sure is: 

 

 

* Yeah, the solution is to take care of my education in this regard.

That image looks photoshopped to me.

But I agree, earth is our home and it's the only one we have. Lets keep it clean

Oh, I meant to say that.

@peqkno Yeah those are sad to see. You are bringing out good awareness about pollution and its negative effects on environment.

Seems pertinent.

What are the things we can do and become aware of on a individual level to minimize pollution?

- Minimal consumption
- buying food in glass jars (probably?)
- ...

What are backfiring mechanisms to doing so?
Foods to avoid? I heard that growing avocados requires a lot of water.
