(9,214 posts)I live in St. Lawrence County in Northern New York. This is a cancer hot spot, meaning we have higher than normal cancer rates. The dairy industry is concentrating on fewer but larger farms, a trend that sadly I think supports your view of the world. Some of our industries such as paper mills are high polluters but are getting better. GM was a big polluter necessitating a large cleanup then they closed up shop a few years ago.
I do live in a very rural area but make it to the "cities" once in awhile, yesterday in fact, and yes development is still going on and will and has to until we stabilize our population.
The world is still far from perfect but cheer up and do whatever little you can to help. If we all do a little, and a lot from those that are able and willing, then it may be enough. We can at least start a trend.
Cheer up and go for a walk in the park if you can. Remember smiles are non-polluting.
