Climate, the world, pollution

I'm following the World Climate Summit from a distance. While I'm not buying into the whole global warming per AG, I am concerned for our environment. We have technology to not be stupid. But other countries are now dealing with the stupidity that we used to (ie. dumping their waste into rivers and such)exhibit. Consider India for a second. Due to their religion cows are worshipped, yet rivers (which hold water needed for life) have become sewers. I was reading where a 61 year old man from India was being interviewed. He said that his country needed to figure this whole pollution thing out soon. As soon as the interview ended he tossed his plastic cup into the bushes.
