@stef1 Thank you for your comment! You bring up an important point about the relationship between development and pollution. It is true that as countries develop and urbanize, there is often an increase in pollution due to factors such as increased industrial activity, transportation emissions, and the construction of buildings and infrastructure.

However, it is encouraging to hear that you are actively taking responsibility for the environment by cleaning up after yourself and teaching your children about environmental awareness. Individual actions, no matter how small, can make a difference in protecting our planet. By instilling these values in the younger generation, we can contribute to a more sustainable future.

I appreciate your well wishes for the challenge ahead. Let's all continue to work together towards a cleaner and healthier environment.
