Clearing the Smoke on the Water

Picture

There are at least five layers of water pollution:

1 Debris such as plastic, glass, tires, planes, cars ...
2 Toxic metals such as mercury, lead ...
3 Toxic organic such as dioxins, pesticides, herbicides ...
4 Sewage and biological waste.
5 Radioactive particles.


People should never be satisfied with the corporate deception of development through "greening up" a space such as removing old buildings, adding sod, and planting trees.

The eye must not be allowed to appropriate reality. Like reality, most of the pollution is invisible to the eye.

Ask a blind person. They know.
