Your anger is misguided in my opinion. As a child growing up in Maine there were few places we could swim that weren’t heavily polluted. Industry here just openly dumped chemicals straight into the water sheds. Vehicles belched visible pollution like you can’t imagine. I watched the previous generation make up nifty ways to dump used motor oil straight into the ground. We had large open pits where everything was thrown in together, household trash along with construction debris. I’m pretty proud of of how much better our generation has left the environment for you. Your welcome little one

The transformation of the Androsoggin baffles me having grown up by it in the 80s

Thank you for cleaning up Maines environment. We are taught about the cleanups environmentalists from the past generations have done in school, or at least I was.

male fertility has been dropping 1% a year since the 70s thanks to micro plastic. I doubt many people are even looking at what it does to the other animals we share this planet with.

The entire globe is still absolutely fucked, and it’s more than just trash at this point. There are little to no prospects left for the younger generations, so our blame is placed on the older generations, that seemly let this all happen while the sirens were blaring in their faces.
