In the millions learned the joys of the running water between about 1850 and 1920, in towns throughout North America and Europe threw similar parties.

My thoughts of this article wasn't really nothing new because I knew that this kind of problem is still happening today. But the shock me most is that when they waste so much money for something that can cause damage to our environment, and they didn't realize what can it impact. Another thing, is that we don't know if this pollution will decrease because a lot of company such as, the power plant, and the factory that causes major pollution will help this solve. And the more we didn't aware what's going on i don't think that the earth will still around for too long.
