True. I've seen some pretty interesting documentaries and stories about how some of West Africa are basically being dumping grounds for European garbage and European undesirables.

Im aware of this but I cant watch these videos.It would just make me mad and its not enlightening me on anything new.
Its just makes me mad and hopeless.

Even in America when it does happen its aways in a poor communities that gets taken advantage of when it comes to making sure these environmental issues get a blind eye until someone is loud enough.
