Pollution, the introduction of contaminants into an environment that causes instability, disorder, harm or discomfort to the ecosystem i.e. physical systems or living organisms, threatens world wide health on all levels.

The worst pollution problems are Groundwater Contamination, Industrial Mining Activities, Metal Smelters and Processing, Radioactive Waste and Uranium Mines, Untreated Sewage, Urban Air Quality, Used Lead Acid Battery Recycling, Contaminated Surface Water, Indoor Air Pollution, Artisanal Gold Mining.

And check out “Gasland”, a movie about the process of ‘fracking’ that creates fractures in rocks to increase the output of a well. The technique also contaminates aquifers with fracturing chemicals and waste fluids that results in permanent health effects, including brain damage and chronic respiratory conditions.

• “Our modern industrial economy takes a mountain covered with trees, lakes, running streams and transforms it into a mountain of junk, garbage, slime pits, and debris.” ~ Edward Abbey
• “Pollution is nothing but resources we're not harvesting. We allow them to disperse because we've been ignorant of their value.” ~ R. Buckminster Fuller
• “There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.” ~ Mohandas K. Gandhi
