As a human who lived here 200 years ago with only 1/4 % of the pollution as now, what advice do you have 4 us?

Question

and, do you wish us good or do you wish us harm?

Answer 1

People make pollution. Make fewer people.

Answer 2

Suck it up there's not much you can do about.

no harm intended

happy birthday.

and i believe there was even less than a 1/4% pollution 200 years ago so your gonna surfer but you'll get used  it.

Answer 3

The pollution in the 18 th century London was so bad the Queen fled for her life from the choking vapors from sulfurous coal fumes.  Sewage was thrown in the ditches.  Rotting animal carcases and innerds from Butchers shared the same trenches.  You are mistaken.  Your 200 year old memory is faulty.  There may be more generated waste but the difference is today there is far better control.  By the way I vastly underestimated how bad the pollution was then as to not get too gross.

Answer 4

wow! you're the 1st 200 + year-old person I've ever heard of. Congratulations on your long life and we all want to know --what is your secret?

oh, and I wish you no harm of course.

It must have been wonderful breathing fresh air 200 years ago.

Answer 5

Less pollution 200 years ago?  There may have been more pollution 200 years ago, especially if you lived in a city.

Imagine living without running water, hot showers, flush toilets, laundry washing machines. People didn't bath very often and they didn't smell very nice. Modern sanitation is the biggest reason that the average life span is 30 years longer than it was 200 years ago.

Imagine living with no refrigeration and canned food was almost unheard of. And imagine the food poisoning (a form of pollution) we avoid because of modern food preservation. No they didn't have Clorox either.

Imagine every street full of horse and human dung (pollution) and the associated fumes and insects and rodents and parasites. Imagine the disease you'd have 200 years ago that you don't have now.

If you were arriving from 200 years ago you're going to think that the world is a much much cleaner place than it used to be.

Answer 6

well, i don't know. is this question hypothetical or sarcastic? i can't tell. as soon as you let me know i will give you an answer. Im thinking that you mean hypothetically, so here goes. I would probably be too in awe at the wonders of the things that pollute that i wouldn't care about polution. this is so sorely the case with humans today. they don't care about the environment because they think that technology can solve anything. however, eventually they will realize how wrong they are. The advice would be to realize this: and to heal the environment, which is the source of all our technology, so we don't wipe out ourselves and the planet
