I've always thought that underpopulated countries in Africa are vastly underpolluted.

I think the point about ActionAid is what it's asking people to do is engage with poor people in developing countries and understand what their lives are like and understand how the way we live our lives impacts on theirs.
Emma Thompson, English Actress (1959-  )

Nobuo Uematsu, Japanese Composer (1959-  )
The UN's unique legitimacy flows from a universal perception that it pursues a larger purpose than the interests of one country or a small group of countries.
