and also the industrialized "so civilized and developed" countries show
us how to use natural resources.

Daily news from Germany teach how poisoned, contaminated, and destructed
German forests, river, and lakes are. It is easy to point at the poor
countries of the world. However, countries like Germany one of the
richest countries of the world with a people "earning" the highest sa-
laries in the world, cannot keep their own house tidy neither on a
collective nor on an individual level. Mind that 80% percent of German
forests are destructed and poisoned by the achievements of technological
(and social ?) advancements before pointing at practises of poor and
starving countries nobody of the rich countries is willing to pay to
change them but rather prosper themselves from the exploitation of natu-
ral resources.
