I got it!
Everything affects, more or less. Let's say they close down those plants. Now, lets stop the food industry for producing toxic food too, lets stop using cars, lets stop creating cities (they are the most toxic places, what else? well lets stop human civilization to prevent affecting the planet... That will not happen. I am in love with the idea for example,
starting with USA, we are very worry about pollution and Global Warning right? But we love to buy cheap products from other countries that they don't care that much about pollution and we create markets for them. To my little brain, that is gas-lighting, a huge lie, the Big Bang of lies, the mother of mass manipulation --Someone is making a lot of money out of "Global Warming"
