    Some places are insanely polluted to the point where you wonder how a whole company could be so braindead and essentially poison themselves.
    A place not far from where I live had a chemical plant which just dumped loads of chemicals on a meadow for years. Now there are ground water pumps installed there which need to run 24/7 so that the chemicals don’t contaminate nearby rivers and hence the rest of the country.
    When taking samples from the pumped up water you can smell gasoline.

      The largest lake in the UK by area got massively polluted and turned into a swamp of toxic green algae. It’s crazy how people just let stuff like that happen.
