Humans are responsible for the way things are today.

I don't believe that anybody would blame cute little deer for "damaging" the environment. But they do, their deer paths wear down soil and eventually become streams. The fact is no matter what the intentions are, animal/plant activity changes the environment. We wouldn't be breathing oxygen if that hadn't happened. I'm not sure if Mr. Ed means the alteration of the planet, or the sorry state of human affairs, which can be blamed on mankind.

Chronic Wasting Disease, the deer/elk/moose version of mad cow is spreading rapidly.
 

It’s a question of value, survival instincts tells the ego is more important than the Id.

A guy used geolocation devices to follow America's recycling and find out where it finally winds up, and how it gets repurposed. The trail ended at massive remote properties in Turkey and I think China, where tons of aluminum cans and plastic bottles are just dumped after being transported from cargo ships.

And according to this guy, American tax dollars pay those countries annually to "recycle" our recyclables. But apparently, once these cargo ships full of recyclables leave our coast, no official or agency or any authority cares what happens to it. There's no follow-up, no rules, no inspections, and no reports.

So, basically, according to this guy, a chunk of our taxes is used to pay governments to take our garbage away.

China has a Policy of Decarbonization which uses Aluminum and a driver. U may see a source of income shipping aluminum to China.
They also have a no import policy about that too. Really millions of Pop cans tossed a day there.

The carbon intensity of aluminum smelted in China compared to other regions like Europe is down to its dependency on coal-fired energy – over 80% of all energy used. However, creating low-carbon aluminum in China requires more than transitioning to renewables; it will take decarbonization technologies addressing direct emissions from aluminum processing in a scalable and commercially viable way.

  • The power used to produce aluminum is a significant source of carbon emissions.
  • In China – a major aluminum production hub – the government and producers are already taking steps to boost the use of greener power sources, but more must be done.
  • If stakeholders across China – the government, producers, utilities, and innovators – work together, research shows renewables could account for more than 50% of the power supply for aluminum production by 2045.

Hard for me to believe China is prioritizing this issue. I think we might be seeing some military action by the PLA long before 2045, and that the CCP is way more focused on that.
