If you know me, you know how I am slowly getting into this whole ocean conservation thing. I really do hope that this event has brought some attention to how we have been mistreating our waters.
Chinese cities dump sewage waste into the sea. Now they take action when they need the Ocean for the Olympics?! A little selfish, don't you think? Yardley states, "But officials in Qingdao said in recent days that pollution and poor water quality did not have a “substantial link” to the current outbreak." Whatever dude. Blame the rainfall if you want, you're still not taking care of your environment. Shallow that they chose this event as an excuse to clean up a bit. But maybe I'm just bitter.
Apparently China has been anticipating this moment their whole lives. Kind of like when the fans of the TV show, Friends, witnessed the blooming love of beloved Ross and Rachel. But I digress. Residents have been volunteering like no tomorrow to prepare for the Olympics. I'm wondering what kind of event must take place for China to notice the bad air quality.
