-> When are people going to begin realizing that the amount of pollution in

This is worth re-reading!

I don't think we should stop thinking about problems like power line
effects and dump location (to name a few).  But this person's point -
that WE are the CAUSE of the problems, is so true that it hurts. 

The dumps fill with OUR garbage, the reactors generate power for
OUR appliances.  The plastic packaging is sold because WE buy it.
When each of US lives harmoniously with nature, all of the "THEM"
will go away due to lack of interest.

Touche'!
