While there are pollution problems in the U.S., the world's worst polluted places are outside the U.S., in poor communities. Thousands of families in these polluted communities live with life-threatening toxins every day. They do not have the resources to do cleanup or move. In this global economy, pollution is everyone's problem. Spread the word. Pollution is one of the biggest problems in the world today. To learn more and help, visit the Blacksmith Institute website.

@carolhill814 great so you're some kind of cynic, any international efforts like this are badly needed and very admirable. only a few dedicated individuals exist who are willing to put such productive efforts and work into the saving the future of the earth..pollution is everybody's problem, wtf are you doing about it?

What the USA has to do is get their house in order before you try to clean up everyone elses house and sadly that is fact.
