If indoor air pollution and tainted water cause 10 percent of deaths in 23 countries, what causes the other 90 percent? And if the polluted water and air problems were solved, what would these countries do with the 10 percent more citizens each year? Can they accomodate them now? Is not overcrowding already an issue? Seems we are addressing the problem at the wrong end.

UWTV, I think. Scientist made a 4 year study on the enviorment, pollution, ozone layer (ect.) Turned their findings over to Washington. The Bush admistration did a rewrite and edit before going public which now says-it ain't so bad, for the benifit of oil companies.Then, those scientist stated if we all stop the pollution world wide and so on, it will still take 30-40 years before it can have an impact on the enviornment. Wow, that's a long time!

Sometimes I think maybe most of our factories that are settling in other countries might be doing that because they have already distroyed most of our country's way of life and now realizes the U.S. cannot stand much more pollution and dumping of hazardous waste. But I wouldn't know walmarts view on that.

Now I’m confused. Doesn’t the WHO have a depopulation agenda? Is this report secret speak for “we have to justify our extremely expensive (tax-payer-funded) useless existence by trotting out the same old pap that everybody already knows while sitting on our fat Armani-underpants clad behinds doing diddly squat to address said regurgitated with nauseating frequency issues”? I could go on at length about the WHO but I'm worried about my blood pressure.

The magnitude of consumer waste is absolutely unimaginable, but one man is trying to get the message across through art. Check out the mind-boggling pictures at:

For instance 426,000 cell phones are 'retired' every single day!

One look via picture (let alone down wind smell) of the so-called rivers (open festering toxic chemical soups and untreated sewage that are the primary drinking water source for many major cities throughout Asia, India, Africa, etc.) and I think it very safe to say that 13 million deaths is a very LOW number annually, caused by drinking water.

I have read that of approximately 2.5 million deaths per day worldwide, 365 day per year, the number on water related issues alone could be 4 times the 13 million sighted.
