    Not really pollution per say (although its another side effect): Manquakes*


    *I hereby announce an alteration to the term "earthquake"--no longer are we referring to what is quaking, but *what the primary mover is in making it quake*. Plate-tectonics and other earth-driven geological caused quakes=earthquake; fracking=manquake.

      I myself have my eye on the pork shortage,and the chicken shortage. Chicken(and Maybe Turkey) from bird flu,and another bug killing young pigs.

      And the bird flu thing.

      Over 7 million turkeys and chickens euthanized in Midwest this year from bird flu outbreak

      So,maybe,just maybe we will be eating ground up bugs to get our protein.

      I mention this because I thing changing patterns in weather and temps can effect the disease factor allowing them to grow more quickly.

        Lisa Simpson's brief bug-eating episode springs to mind. The grasshoppers... oh the grasshoppers..

        Ahem... and back to environmental pollution. >.>

          To say nothing of the sink holes that open up above old mines. Detroit is built over extensive salt mines. I'm waiting for it to sink into the earth and vanish.

          P.S. The PC term would be personquake. This is the 21st century, after all.

            Detroit gone? That wouldn't be so bad to be honest. Well, unless you live in Detroit.

              LOL - have you been to Detroit? There is some good stuff there, although you'll never see that in the movies.

                Mmmm Detroit. The smell of pollution, and on occasion, if the night is right... Burning cars, oh yum. If you listen hard enough, you can hear the gun shots and the angry drivers stuck in traffic. So precious.

                  Detroit Institute of Arts, Detroit Symphony Orchestra, African-American Museum, Museum of the Detroit Historical Society, New Center, Wayne State University, Center for Creative Studies, Greek Town, Eastern Market Place, Fisher Theater, Bonstell Theater, as well as numerous smaller theaters, like The Attic Theater, the Detroit River (excellent example of a dead, polluted urban river brought back to life - record sturgeon are caught there these days, as well as salmon and lake trout, Belle Isle, Scripts-Whitcomb Conservatory, Dossin Maritime Museum, and more that I can't think of off hand...

                  Don't believe everything you see on TV. Every large city has bad parts. Detroit is no different.

                    I like to joke. Many good things have come from Detroit. Like the plague for example.
                    No but seriously, it is nicer than people set it out to be.

                      's OK - I didn't take offense. Even those of us who come from there will joke about it, but it is also good to remember that there are good things - there, as there are everywhere.

                      I miss the cultural aspects - a lot. But I don't like being in big cities more than I miss the high culture, so I make due in hillbilly heaven.

                            Here's some info on what one can do with the plastic eating fungi...

                            A Mini Farm That Produces Food From Plastic-Eating Mushrooms

                            The Austrian designer partnered with Julia Kaisinger and Utrecht University to develop a system that cultivates edible plastic-digesting fungi. That’s right, you can eat mushrooms that eat plastic. In 2012, researchers at Yale University discovered a variety of mushroom (Pestalotiopsis microspora) that is capable of breaking down polyurethane. It kicked off a craze of research exploring how various forms of fungi can degrade plastic without retaining the toxicity of the material. The findings got Unger thinking: What if we could turn an environmental problem (waste) into an environmental solution (food)?
                            I'd buy a culture to play with, if it weren't so expensive. Any amateur scientists want to go halvsies?
