I'm not sure the "Cash for Clunkers" picture belongs. The program got 690,114 pieces of junk off the road. The old cars got on average 15.8 mpg and their replacements 24.9 mpg, a fuel efficiency improvement of 58% and a comparable reduction in air pollution.

There's already too many people living on this planet. Unfortunatley, most of them are stupid.

send garbage to space

This is who we are..

This is what our world is turned in to...
Really sad...

"We've got some environmental problems on this planet." ... wow. you have noticed? Now please you notice it too America and Europe

Most of the world does NOT look like this. We still have a beautiful planet.

Recycle, reuse,reduce. How much stuff do you really need.

You know one great way to solve this situation? Developed countries could help :)

@Lu so that's the answer is it? ignore this and look at the good stuff? this is terrible. everyone needs to do something

wow, really sad.

Recycle - every possible thing - stop making new shit - it seems to be all about $$$$$

sad that some of these poorer countries cant recycle
