Awareness will come.

Action will only occur when the public demands it.

Here in the US we had a river on fire. That was maybe 30 years ago. And I think it was the Potomac (runs through Washington DC.

My hometown in Oklahoma suffers from pollution. The government is buying out the residents. The location is Picher, OK. Google for the map and then go to the satellite photo. The large circles are gravel piles. The area has lead, zinc, and cadmium heavy metal poisioning.

This was done pre awareness. And we pay Now.

Peace
