plague of cholera, which took off tens and hundreds of thousands of Europeans in sudden, unexplained outbreaks in its populous cities. A city-dweller might leave his neighborhood for a weekend in the country, and return to find that 10% of his neighbors were being carted off in boxes to the graveyard.
“in London in the 1850′s there were stinking places aplenty. There was no central sewage; human excrement was deposited in the cesspools under the cellars of buildings; the cesspools frequently overflowed into the cellars and courtyards in poorer neighborhoods.
“Cesspools were periodically emptied by “night-soil men”, and the contents was carted off to the fields, but it was a costly operation. What sewers there were, discharged into the Thames as a grand sewer, which produced such an unbearable stench that, one memorable Summer, Parliament was forced to adjourn.
Eventually, a huge program for city sewage was implemented, a true wonder of engineering, and London’s sewage was diverted to the lower Thames, where the tides took it out to sea.”

There ya go. Humanity has survived and prospered in the worst of environmental times. Things are a lot better now, and its time for you to STOP, RETIRE. Enough is enough. Too much of anything is NOT good.
Get a new hobby or new life. You are promoting the destruction of tax PAYING jobs and replacing them with tax ABSORBING jobs. Wake up and stop being unwittingly used by the globalist agenda.
The latest environmental laws since 1971 were to create new alternative service and enforcement occupations to over ride the global sharing or off shoring of USA manufacturing jobs.
The Chinese, India people, third world people, developing nations, emerging market citizens LOVE the factories, farms, mines, wells, pipelines and smoke stacks etc etc.
Higher living standards are worth it.
The propaganda press has succeeded in making Americans HATE and despise factories, farms, mines, wells, pipelines and smoke stacks etc etc.
You people also need to STOP telling car makers every year how YOU (really they) want the cars built. Leave bad enough alone. You are keeping them in a constant research and development stage.
Making us guinea pigs, too many recalls, never perfected, like the cars peak technology in reliance user friendly, and simplicity of the 1970 models.
Forget about 100 miles per gallon, and pure oxygen coming out of the tail pipe.
