I was shocked...I had read that the pollution in China was bad but OMG I had no idea, it was this...
the pictures, warning, are graphic, and if you have weak stomach...be forewarned, particularly the CANCER and DEFORMITIES of numerous people who are stuck in villages that look, no joke, like HELL.
I am pasting the photos here, just in case they get pulled down, but the site is:

the photographer is Le Guang, a Hero...because you know exposing the 'not so perfect' utopia's that gov's like to present can be dangerous,
[descriptions from selected photos are under them, see the WEBSITE for all photos, I only took a few, just in case some don't like to follow other links, because word needs to get out on this]
8. In the Yellow Sea coastline, countless sewage pipes buried in the beach and even extending into the deep sea. April 28, 2008 [btw, I was watching surfing on river waves, and China's Silver Dragon tidal wave came up, and I wondered why it was so brown, so I did some research. Nigeria has a wedge wave, that is so black, that I was shocked to see surfers on it, not sure it it's ocean or river, but I'll check. Anyway, this may, obviously, be why our world, we are seeing so many massive animal deaths. This is what our lust for 'things' is doing to our world, animals and people, and it begs some serious soul searching in all of us.]
but we CONSUMERS, are contributing to this, folks...we can change this if we DEMAND CHANGE, of what happens over what we consume/purchase. We as consumers have that power, if we are silent, then well...shouldn't have to say.
9. In Ma’anshan, Anhui province (安徽马鞍山), along the Yangtze River there are many small-scaled Iron selection factories and plastic processing plants. Large amounts of sewage discharged into the Yangtze River June 18, 2009
AND THE PEOPLE, CHILDREN, WOMEN, THIS EFFECTS...WE CAN NOW SAY,
WE HAVE CREATED, A WORLD WIDE 'CANCER WARD', DON'T BLAME STALIN, WE'VE SURPASSED HIM.
21. Shanxi Province is the most polluted areas of China. It is also the province with the highest rate of birth defects. This loving farmer couple adopted 17 disabled children. April 15, 2009
“In Some areas of China people’s lives were threatened because of the environmental pollution. Residents suffering from all kinds of obscured diseases, the cancer villages, increase of deformed babies, these were the results of sacrificing environment and blindly seeking economical gain.”
- Lu Guang
27. Zhangqiao village by the Hong River in Wugang City, Henan Province (河南省舞钢市洪河边的张桥村), a 45-year-old woman Sun Xiaojun (孙晓军) could not move her feet and hands since 4 years ago. The numerous hospital treatments were not effective. April 7, 2009
This breaks my heart, we owe this world change, because it's consumption that drives the greed and vice versa, that creates these death machines.
