I feel the same way, after 1.5 yrs in Mexico. Too much: - Noise - Lawless culture & government corruption - Pollution & its related "who cares" culture around trash & toxic chemicals To little: - Infrastructure - Education - Respect for nature & concern for reducing the impact of pollution - Enforcement of health & environmental regulation That said, there are ardent environmentalists & industrious, educated people. They're just at a low concentration due to the human development itself-- it takes time for societies to develop to high levels of living standards and human achievement.
