Pollution Worse Than All Current Wars and Violence
And as a bit of a hippy, I’m happy to announce … trees are the answer.
According to the Lancet:
“Diseases caused by pollution were responsible for an estimated 9 million premature deaths in 2015—16% of all deaths worldwide—three times more deaths than from AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined and 15 times more than from all wars and other forms of violence. In the most severely affected countries, pollution-related disease is responsible for more than one death in four.”
