  1. Yeah, i feel like the government could use the "holiness" of the river to its advantage - they could frame the people and companies who illegally pollute the river as "immoral defilers of the holy water" and encourage them to report businesses that illegally dump, and chastise people who litter. Over time, the river can clean itself (at the expense of the ocean) but the first step is to prevent any future pollution. The river will never be clean if people keep dumping in garbage it doesn't matter if he "increases the flow by 60%." How would he even increase the river flow? Would he do a rain dance? Like wtf even?? And if he he somehow did increase the flow, it would flood millions of houses. That guy is insane.

  2. The first step is realizing what you can do better. No person or country is perfect, and while some may face more immediate issues than others, the Earth is extremely connected, and it's growing more connected every day. Pollution is a problem that affects us all. If we would all work on the problems instead of trying to assign blame, we could make this planet clean and habitable for our kids and the future generations. I wish you the best! For all of our sakes, i want to see you and your country succeed. :)

  3. sad das me? I create more waste than India as a country? I'm confused by your meaning. While we may create more waste per capita than people in India, the lower population in the west means it's not as immediate of an issue. But it is still an issue for all of us, and no one is innocent this current waste disposal structure. We all do need to do something about it. We may not face consequences as quickly in the west, but we will eventually face the same consequences that India's facing now if we don't all change soon. This is a "we" problem, 100%
