"Won't someone think of the COAL MINERS???"

yea we need another oil spill at least

It’s not edgy to think about the environment and how sad all this is. Dipshit.

It is if you're invoking emotion and not even telling the whole picture with some.

Of course we can, the question is will we...

OR - and hear me out - what if we DIDN'T do better so long as corporations could continue making money?

Aw, that poor kitten!

Well we can also do worse too

We can, but we ain't.

Apparently not.

The only one that is maybe even a little bit acceptable is the first one, tires were often thrown into the ocean to hopefully act as an arti

Ficial reef. However, they didn't work out and for some reason they were never cleaned up.

They were. A majority of them were taken out and burned for electricity. Ones buried deep in the sand were left because they probably --

Good to know! :D

We can, but we're too apathetic and self absorbed to. I'm glad I don't have kids, the next few generations are fucked.
capnsebastian
Can't tell if this is a good contribution or not
HelloMyNameIsHuman
Going against the grain here and agreeing with you. Especially our older generations they can literally give 2shits about the planet.

what can I do? short of an armed insurrection against conservative governance there's zero hope
JamesProton
Yeah because that attitude definitely helps.
itsybitsyspider
Shut the fuck up and look at what we've done in the past ten years alone. Most of these pictures are very old or taken out of context.
nanyatenyaa
Look at the last year the us stepping away from it's commitments and shitting on the EPA. The message is relevant, dick bag.
ienjoymoonlight
As said above - most wildlife in Africa has been hunted/poached or had its habitat destroyed. There will be nothing left very soon!
eggmuffin
Bullshit. We can and we are. The last decades have seen environmental considerations improve by leaps and bounds.
ElbowdeepinElmo
Long, long way to go though. Just hope big countries will cooperate - under Trump the US is quite regressive in that regard.
ienjoymoonlight
As an African, wildlife won’t exist outside of a few select parks in Botswana/South Africa and maaaybe Kenya. Is all gone

We have seen the world population grow by 60% in 25 years and half of the fish population die since the 70s.

So in summary to the other chain of replies I put, this video doesn't at all address the issue of global warming because of population.

I'm confused as to why a Mexican city is on there, what's wrong with that?
ChuckNorrisAteMySock
Mexico City is built in a "bowl," so all the smog collects. Some of the worst air quality in the world.
thegriffin88
It's better now but birds used to fly over there and have heart attacks.

before the repost bot speaks....last seen 2.3 weeks ago.tital similarity 4/5. no link sorry. going off memory
GAngeldb
Ok the first two are legit things. Tires were an attempt to rebuild reefs. Second is logging company which replant more trees for wood.
KyleToth06
That's what I thought
theitinerantnaturalist
Replanting more trees DOES NOT undo the damage. It can actually worsen it.
TheCrazySucculentLady
Actually the tires are ... read this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_Reef
thatusernamehasntalreadybeenchosen
As I understand it, the tire thing failed wildly
ShaunDreclin
it failed but it wasn't some pile of garbage just dumped there
thatusernamehasntalreadybeenchosen
I mean it basically ended up being a pile of garbage
GAngeldb
The rest sucks.
tzxAzrael
unless they've all got some legit reason you just haven't heard yet. pic sets like this do nothing for me, with no context or sources.
BattleSneeze
The oil spill burning is legit, though. Controlled burn of a spill. Better than to let the oil drift around and fuck up birds n' shit.
killlface
The second one is from a drained reservoir.
Yzara
To be fair the tires in the sea bed there isn't as bad as it looks. It's an artificial reef. Ships are deliberately sunk to make reefs.
theitinerantnaturalist
The tires actually did end up becoming an environmental disaster.
Yzara
Also the biggest offender of mass pollution. is China.
Yzara
It's not that people don't care about the environment. They do. However shitty corrupt governments don't give a shit.
Yzara
Also can we quite putting Nuclear in the same boat? It emits very little pollution and generates a shitload of electricity.
Yzara
A nuclear plant can replace 20 coal plants. Wind and solar are far from reliable but there are ways to be efficient and clean up the planet.
Avatar720
I'm all for nuclear being a temporary 'in-between' source of energy but too many people oppose it on misguided grounds of 'nuclear= ALL BAD'
insoleindependent
Doing better isn't profitable though. That's why all these problems exist.
Catfactory
We can make it profitable though through sound regulation. Plastic bag taxes and bans, for instance, cause people to use reusable bags.
sspen
Renewables and natural gas are already becoming cheaper independent of regulation
Catfactory
Not in Canada and the United States. Lots of government subsidies and regulations at work that've reduced the cost of green energy.
sspen
Fracking has substantially lowered the cost.
Catfactory
Fracking isn't typically considered 'green energy', which is the main target of my previous comment.
insoleindependent
We need those policies to be implemented first. That's the hard part.
Catfactory
Not especially. Many politicians run with them as part of their platforms. Petition city councils to implement them in your region. :)
insoleindependent
I keep forgetting that's a thing I can do. I think I spend too much time on Imgur.
Catfactory
This is why we should vote for politicians and parties with robust environmental agendas. Apathy won't help. Action will.
Juliana818
I know who doesn’t pay taxes!
Svartlebee
No. Because almost every green party is anti nuclear and has a whole load of batshit crazy other stuff going on.
Catfactory
2/2 Or the Federal NDP and Liberals vs the Conservative Party of Canada. Two have reasonable environmental agendas, the other doesn't.
Catfactory
Those are "Green" parties. I'm just talking about an environmental agenda. Compare: Clinton vs Trump. Only one had real policy. 1/2
Osarphi
Problem is, that's not the only factor in an election.
Catfactory
It's a challenge but not unlike the standard challenge for voters in a democracy.

The whale, the turtle, and the seal got me all angry

JunglePygmy
Thats the problem. Every single one should get you angry.
Pootisborn
Angry enough to actually do something, though? Because most people seem to fall short of that mark.
HeywoodJablowmie
To be honest, they all did. It's just easier for me to get upset at seeing the effect of the garbage rather than having to visualize it.
thebestdamntaco
I don't think they were saying the others didn't.. Just easy to relate to animals in pain rather than the ground in pain...
Osarphi
Ah yes, good ol' downvote for saying the truth that is not desired here.
AdventureTimeWarrior
^ This. We need to worry about everything. Not just the animals, but the humans, and the plants too. its all very important.
Osarphi
And it's not possible. For most people, there is a limit to how much they can care. Family, friends, personnal life, and a bit more.
ahinsak
Consider Vegan.
BendyDicksCumOnMyBaps
Agreed.
Falanxzealot
How does veganism stop can multipack tags being made?
ahinsak
Vegan/Ahinsa is a state of mind that tries to minimize harm to others. Protection of the environmental is one of the natural consequences.
Osarphi
Then no need to be vegan. Just not being a dick is enough.
