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 6 countries who are currently guilty of that.
