I just read an article about the contamination of the Doce river in Brazil. Are there no lengths that man won't go to in order to voice his contempt for nature? An entire river has been rendered fruitless because of man's greed and irresponsibility. Whole livelihoods have been cut short and a once rich and vibrant place has been bathed in the sludge of industry. Why aren't we responding to this kind of thing in an organized fashion?

Its a sad thing when this happens in teh world. I feel like these disasters can always be prevented but they rarely are. I think overall we need to be more careful and do measures to prevent these things from happening. I feel like the water when it comes from the river is better like it was said in the article.

See how people are being wasted. It is always a very sad situation. Where is humanity? I hope we can be much more cautious and take necessary precautions when we should. The life we have is just one and we only live it once. More attention should be paid to guarding it judiciously. It is sad the way the life was lost...I wish I can help prevent it though.

I feel so bad that this effected so many creatures and the enviroment on such a grand scale. From the food, to the drinking water, to the economy. This river was a main source of life for everyone and it has been ruined forever. I feel for the guy who said it feels like he lost a family memeber a life lost because its been a source of life for so many for so long. It is very unfair that the clean up is so slow going and that they are taking so long to fix there wrong. I also feel bad for the fish who died because mud was stuc in there gills its such a slow painful death. I would never drink or eat from that river again as who knows how that can effect people and if itll ever really be clean.
