  • Can they use it to water their own plants instead?

    Recently, the Japanese government has decided to release the water from the Fukushima nuclear reactor into the sea. This has caused much dissatisfaction with its neighbours  as they felt it may contaminate the sea water.

    If that is the case, do you think the Japanese Government should just use this water to water their own plants instead? After all, the water has already been treated and so it should be safe. Hence, they can use it to water their own plants instead. I am sure all of you will know, all our governments regularly use water to water the plants in the parks and the public gardens. By doing that, they no longer need to throw the water into the sea and generate dissatisfaction with their neighbours and everything will also be alright.

  • Why is over-population never at the forefront of the climate agenda?

    It´s pretty obvious right. The more people, the more pollution. So even if everyone managed to cut their carbon footprint, the sheer number of people being born (specifically in African and Muslim countries) is just going to make things worse. Then everybody wants to get more developed too, which means even more pollution.

  • Why is there no movement that specifically focuses on toxic traffic pollution?

    Decades of facts and evidence are undeniable. Cars would be banned immediately if a covid style stir up was caused. Cancer, Respiratory Problems, Dementia.

    Yet people are breathing it in for hours and hours on a daily basis. And BOTH sides of Environmental argument get passed onto talking about ´climate change´ instead.

  • There is a toxic chemical smell outside in the air for days now and no one believes me? ?

    For the past five days, there has been a smell coming in my house through my window AC from outside. It smells like a mix of chlorine, bleach and freezer burn. The smell is overwhelming and I’ve had to lock myself in my bedroom and stuff a towel under the door because it makes me horribly sick. It gives me a headache, a sore throat, pain up my nose, tightness in my chest, and even nausea. We opened the windows and it just got worse so I know it’s coming from outside. The problem is no one seems to smell it but me. I keep telling my mom describing it and she just keeps saying she doesn’t smell it. No one believes me and they think I’m crazy. I’ve always been more sensitive to chemicals than everyone else, but someone has always been able to smell what I do at one point. No one but me seems to smell it and it’s driving me nuts. My mom now thinks it’s just a phantom smell and it’s not really there and it’s all in my head. I know it’s not. I have chemical allergies and I know when there is something in the air that is bad to breathe. It’s worrying me that something toxic might have been leaked somewhere and no one is doing anything about it or something. Do I have an control over this situation? Who can I call? Isn’t there anyone who is trained to investigate and identify smells? Or will no one care? I can’t even go anywhere and investigate because I’ve got a badly sprained foot and now can’t drive. This makes me feel even more hopeless because no one will investigate for me.

  • Should I turn myself in. What would happen?

    This was 4 years ago. I worked for a landscaping company, and we were building a retaining wall, and patio. I think this is because the company didn't what to pay a supplier for the sand, so we took it off the beach. Idk how much, but it was a lot. Lets just say it was 4 dump truck loads. It might have just seemed like that much, because I had to carry it all from the beach. Anyways. I read that doing this can cause coastal erosion problem, and I dont want to be responsible for part of the coast to sink into the water. What should I do?

  • How can I drive a tractor?

    I'm a 18 year old girl, and I've wanted to know what it was like since I was a little kid. I live near a farm and I'm finally getting my chance! But is it difficult? Is it similar to a car in any way? I'll be driving in the farm field (which isn't cleared or planted or anything) so there aren't really any obstacles, but I'm a little nervous.

    I've been driving since I was 15 and a half
