Almost anything that is bad in the environment is caused by just a few things.
1) population growth
2) consumerism
3) greed
Some countries like India actually encourage increased family size, that is political as a riposte to China and its domination.
Dumbing down the news to almost the lowest level, the incessant advertising and an imposed modern mind-set of group-think.
People need to think for themselves, what makes you happy should not be even more plastic crap made of oil/coal transported by oil from China.
