Taking that 90% of the world population is barely getting by, and don't even know if they will be alive tomorrow. Only a small very spoiled privileged minority of humans even have the time of day to stop and ponder on something as irrelevant as the environment. They are to bizzy just making ends meet.When you get your head out of your ass, and realize that most humans will die if they don't keep plugging away at their sweat shop jobs making cheap shoes for you to buy at Walmart you will finally realize how ignorant of the world we are.
90% are just making enough to bring home a Bol of rice home for their kids.
Once they see pollution is killing them, Yes, they will stop, And then die from having no food to feed themselves.
