The destruction of entire species for profit. 280 species of birds and mammals in about the last hundred years. 400,000 elephants and 1,000 rhinoceros slaughtered in Kenya this year. 180,000 baby seals for $2 million.

For years, 2,000 tons of sulphuric acid, titanium and cadmium dumped in the Mediterranean every day. Dumping it on the seabed is no better. Mercury waste thrown into the sea passed on to humans through fish. These pictures can't be shown too often. 15 years to react. 1 to 2% of world tonnage spread along the coast and in the oceans.
