The human factor

What causes pollution of our planet ? The pollution of our oceans of human waste, of the ground by human waste, of the atmosphere by humans burning forests, manufacturing of furniture, automobiles, airplanes trains and farm equipment. The processing and growing of vegetables, meat, fruits and dairy products for human consumption. The manufacturing of clothing, tapestries, textiles, plastics, leathers, paper products for human usage. The production of glass, steel, aluminum, coal, electricity for human convenience.

The axle of this wheel in motion is the human.

The only way to solve the entire problem of pollution of the planet Earth is to do away with what?

Worldwide - 11, 000 ISIS (reportedly) were released in Syria and the Democrats want to do away with boarder security - wow.

Washington wise, Native Americans, environmentalists and fishers not only want to demolish Snake River dams, but also the Columbia River dams. Do they really think that bird-killing wind mills and Duracell batteries can solve their electrical needs?
