Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans.

About This Quote

The world is being destroyed by trash. The only difference between water and air is that water is recognized as a commodity, while air is recognized as a right. So, what happens to the garbage of the rich? Well, they are sort of treated like water by being put into garbage cans. Their waste ends up in the ocean or the atmosphere where it poisons the earth and creates illnesses.
