Sadly, the majority of the world currently cares very little for the overall state of the environment. Recently, thankfully, a council convened and voted on some very interesting and potentially life-altering changes to the way countries produce, consume, and destroy the environment. With this new act passed, we should see a lot better changes. Unfortunately, there are still a lot of countries out there with little to no regard for the safety and continuity of the environment. Here are 5 countries who are currently guilty of that.

The USA is, obviously, one of the contenders for the top spot when it comes to the destruction of nature. When it comes to air pollution, only a handful of other countries can even contend. Pollution is steadily increasing throughout the nation, too.

Mexico, since 1999, has had over one million people admitted to the local hospitals due to some form of health problems caused by the mass-scale pollution occurring on a regular basis. Automobiles, factories, and various industries are all lending their hand towards the pollution problem.
1. India

India has become quite known for their garbage disposal problems and air pollution, which has caused more than a few species to go extinct. Deforestation is also a leading cause of animals dying out throughout the country.
