The health and condition of the oceans and the rivers and lakes that feed them are vital to the planet and everything living on it.
Whether you believe in climate change caused by human activity or not, poluting the natural environment always has a negative outcome.
Rivers poluted to the point of being devoid of life go from being a source of natural food for humans and animals and birds and insects et al
to something that feeds the seas and oceans with a toxic liquid that should be fresh water.
