Appalling what mankind does to the environment. I read an environmentalist saying "we don't deserve this planet". After reading some of the stories about the types of environmental damage we inflict on Mother Earth, I have to agree.
There's an assortment of these types of stories available - just google. Also check out what we're doing here at home in the oil fields of Alberta:

I appreciate that the oil sands in Fort McMurray are the current economic engine of Canada, but it makes you think at what cost.
