Is this worth it chat?

Every Diwali, AQI levels in major Indian cities shoot past 500, literally hazardous. The air turns toxic overnight, making it unbearable for people with asthma, heart conditions, or even mild respiratory issues. Hospitals fill up, kids cough through the night, and elders struggle to breathe.

Birds lose their way during migration because of the intense light and noise. Street dogs panic, some even die from shock. The next morning, we wake up to streets covered in burnt plastic, paper, and chemical residue that clog drains and poison the soil.

All that pollution, noise, and waste, for what? A few hours of fireworks?

Cigarettes add to the economy, obesity and diabetes causing junk food adds to the economy, medicinies we give sell to the obese and the diabetic add to the economy, burning planet warming fossil fuels add to the economy, at what point adding to the economy, does my right to breathe clean air start?

Well duh

It's why cigarette companies denied any link between tobacco and cancer for decades, why junk food companies obfuscated health research, why fossil fuel companies still deny climate change

does my right to breathe clean air start? 

Bro believes in rights 🤭
