Here's the difference though: We passed the Clean Water Act, and stuff got done. Before that, as far as I know, nothing really making illegal to pollute the waters. Of course there is corruption and the like in the US, but nothing like India. It's not like the problem was people defecating in the Cuyahoga, it was purely an industrial problem.
- discardorama 11y agoMy point was that even in the US, fixing an environmental disaster (and a small one at that) took a while. It didn't happen overnight.
- reagency 11y agoIndustrial pollution is less dirty than residential pollution?
- Dylan16807 11y agoIndustrial pollution is much more easily controlled, and in small amounts has less impact on residents.
