Captain Planet, gonna take pollution down to zero.

So first thing's first: Captain Planet, earth to Captain Planet, you're needed in CHina.
No joke. Big pipeline coming out of a coal plant spewing black liquid waste right into a river, and everything. The waste was oil-like, because the water and the waste separated at first, and then mixed together to create the black river. The black waste joining the river actually made a beautiful picture, except for the fact that it made me realize that the famers that live below the waste point all water their livestock there and wade across the river barefoot.

China's development is too early for these effects to be seen yet, I guess. So any of you guys interested in environmental action and studies go to the coal plants around datong and statistically compare birth defects and infant mortality./
jesus, it was so disgusting.

but the valley was actually pretty in its bleakness. Don't ask how that works, but it does.

We're going into the inner mongolian desert tomorrow to camp again.
