There is nothing new about the news that our environment and planet are both suffering extensively with pollution every day. Despite that, the thought rarely enters our minds when we’re throwing recyclables into the garbage, puting gas in our cars, or buying plastic water bottles.
Ever since the industrial revolution, humans have been keen on competing to dig out resources and in the process, there has been deforestation, oil spills, endangered animals, and the loss of thousands of lives. Now, at the same time, we know that going vegan won’t solve the problem immediately, but it will get us somewhere.
This collection of photographs below is a powerful wake-up call to make us realize how badly we have ruined our planet!
