We are as well but little do we know it we also get affected by pollution it is said that it can give you cancer by inhaling polluted air. You can do your bit by walking from place to place if it is walking distance and don't litter because we do share the world with other nations and they get affected by pollution as well. If we keep going on the way we are going we are all going to die because the ozone layer will burn away to nothing.

The book is called "Crabgrass Crucible: Suburban Nature and the Rise of Environmentalism in the 20th Century US," and is written by the environmental historian (and physician) Christopher Sellers.

My grandmothers bag set off a Geiger counter in Moscow where we were finally able to evacuate a week later. The bag was taken from her as a bio hazard. It was a suitcase she had left out on a balcony through that entire week. My mother was forced to stay behind in Kiev and finish out the school year as a teacher, if she did not she would have been shot as a panic starter and a traitor to the soviet union.

The sadder thing about it is that the same kind of incident continue to happen elsewhere seeing what happened in Japan. True, there is a good reason for putting up nuclear plants but considering the pros versus the cons, what good does it really do? What a sad, sad, sorry incident Chernobyl was.
