Regulate Corporations

We need to REGULATE CORPORATIONS and the MULTINATIONALS also. There need to be WORLD-WIDE ENFORCEABLE International laws on polluting; and a body to ENFORCE them. As it is now, Corporations under fire simply go elsewhere where laws are more lax, and continue their dirty work of pollution.

seriously in the dumps!

I knew that we were a world of irresponsible polluters, but I am horrified to find out that it is worse than I already knew. I am so depressed for our earth! I hope we can really do something to change the damage we are still creating every second.

The Riachuelo Basin is a waterway whose name is synonymous with pollution. More than 3,500 factories operate along the banks of the river, a landscape that also includes 13 slums, numerous illegal sewage pipes running directly into the river, and 42 open garbage dumps.
