I hate studio. For me, studio is a trap to overproduce and repeat yourself. It is a habit that leads to art pollution.
As is widely accepted, putting a price on carbon pollution is the lowest cost and most efficient way to tackle dangerous climate change.
Sooner or later, we will have to recognise that the Earth has rights, too, to live without pollution. What mankind must know is that human beings cannot live without Mother Earth, but the planet can live without humans.
Apple has made this commitment that it’s a green company. So how do you fulfill your commitment if you don’t consider you have responsibility in your suppliers’ pollution?
I hope people will learn more about agriculture in America. About locally grown farming and about water conservation. About how much pollution results from beef and pig farming.
Countries have made impressive pledges to cut carbon pollution, but we have to ensure these promises become actions.
The Internet is emblematic of an era in which what happens in Southeast Asia or southern Africa – from democratic advances to deforestation to the fight against aids – can affect Americans. As has been observed about water pollution, we all live downstream now.
Five states – Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Illinois and North Carolina – have been identified by the EPA as contributing significantly to Rhode Island pollution. As of 2010, 284 tall smokestacks – stacks over 500 feet – were operating in the United States: needles injecting poison into the atmosphere.
Greening the globalised manufacturing and sourcing will be the single biggest help multinationals could make to the tough pollution control in China and other developing countries.
Pollution is everywhere, in that ancient Greek sense of miasma: guilt experienced as abject body fluid, moral pollution defining what kinds of beings count in social space.
Mercury pollution from power plants is a national problem that requires a national response.
Pollution from oil and gas development, toxic runoff, and miles and miles of plastic trash foul the waters and threaten marine life.
I think the main influence has been living in New York City. Aside from all the crap around 9/11, I find it very demanding to think amid all the noise and visual pollution.
We now see numerous examples of brands working together to address issues such as environmental degradations, climate control, pollution, poverty and disease.
As a native Oklahoman, I’m dismayed by what fossil fuel pollution has done to the Sooner State.
Tar sands oil is the dirtiest fuel on Earth. Because producing it consumes so much energy, a gallon of tar sands crude generates 17 percent more carbon pollution than conventional crude oil.
It’s not enough for one country or even a few countries to reduce emissions when other countries continue to fill the atmosphere with carbon pollution as they see fit.
Plastic doesn’t have to be ocean plastic pollution.
What I loathe is the multi-national conglomerates who must take responsibility for the degradation and pollution of so much of our landscape with their factory farming and greed.
And by the way, the United States is the biggest cause in global warming pollution. And we’re doing the least about it. I find that personally embarrassing.
We have lived with deadly levels of air pollution for years, which have made us more vulnerable to coronavirus.
Carpooling is important for urban density, air pollution and other reasons, but carpooling is not the kind of thing that actually changes the energy equation.
As governor of Washington, I’ve seen firsthand what’s possible when you invest in clean energy – reducing carbon pollution and supporting family-wage jobs that are growing twice as fast as those in any other industry.
There is a societal cost of increased pollution, and that’s what I’m passionate about as a mother.
The environment will continue to deteriorate until pollution practices are abandoned.
It is unfortunately true that our generation and that of your parents have left you with a big mess that will now be yours to clean up: wars, budget challenges, pollution, global warming, battles of health care, natural disasters. They’re all there for you. We’re willing those to you. Are you ready?
When you see that charger in the wall, you have to now say okay that’s, that’s contributing to global-warming pollution, I have to pull that charger out of the wall.
We had this incredible pass over the Himalayas, and to just see all of that pollution that’s riding up against those mountains from the south is just really heartbreaking.
Our crumbling infrastructure disproportionately harms Black, brown, Indigenous, and low-income communities. The negative health impacts arising from fossil fuel use, industrial pollution, and toxic materials in our homes and schools are literally making us sick.
Today we’re dumping 70 million tons of global-warming pollution into the environment, and tomorrow we will dump more, and there is no effective worldwide response. Until we start sharply reducing global-warming pollution, I will feel that I have failed.
For too long, opponents of climate change have hid behind the argument that the U.S. cannot afford to cut carbon pollution because other countries won’t follow suit.
The biggest tab the public picks up for fossil fuels has to do with what economists call ‘external costs,’ like the health effects of air and water pollution.
I’m from London, and you hardly see stars because of the pollution of light. But in Arizona, there’s nothing, so I can see the stars.
The prevailing ideology of the modern west – which is political economy – is in the doghouse. Having failed to notice atmospheric pollution, the economists then frightened themselves with the sort of financial crisis they said they had abolished.
In developed countries, strong rules are in place to restrict sound pollution and curb its deadly effects. As law-abiding citizens with social responsibility, we should all come together against this unhealthy trend.
