How Ugly Is Our Earth?

When you want to pull your kids to lie down in the grass, and count the stars at night, what happens? A simple childhood game for people of my generation, becomes a sad story.
Because, there are no visible stars in the sky.

It’s a world gone wrong at every step. The woods are empty, the waters are muddy, the rivers are drying, and hence, the species in the forests and rivers diminishing, along with the forests and rivers themselves.
How long will it be before we wake up? Will we wait till every child born is asthmatic? Every city begins to have unpredictable weather? Every rare species is wiped out? Every river has either dried up or is a nala? Every street has water shortages?
When will it be too late? Isn’t it already too late? The Ugly Earth attempts to wake you up to that fact.
