Maybe not… we’re all too spoiled to feel the pain

I came across RiceBunny’s twitter page (Michelle Phan) and saw this article (click here ) that just make me stop breathing for a while. I’ve always thought I’m one of those people who are already really conscious and up-to-date when it comes to pollution, climate changes and other environmental issues. I guess I was wrong.

Sometimes, pictures speak better than words. Or stats. Here are a few shots (to know better, click on the link I provide in the previous paragraph) that freelance photographer Hu Guang took from his native country. All credits goes to chinahush.com

“64-year-old Wang Baosheng got ill since 2003, he has fester all over his body so he cannot go to bed and lying face down on the edge of the bed each day.”

These pictures were taken in 2005. Can you imagine how people are living now ?

Do keep in mind that whether you believe that our Earth is really warming up or not doesn’t matter. What matters is that, if you know how our bad habits and greediness, both traits that wouldn’t harm to change, can cause sufferance to others, then the best thing a human can do to another is to at least be cooperative and spare each other a healthy life.
