Freshwater Quotes

China’s headlong rush to industrialize was pursued with the most Marxist of prejudices - bending nature to man’s will. That’s a desperately hard trick to pull off when one fifth of humanity, having previously subsisted on 7 percent of the world’s freshwater supply, decides that it wants to instantaneously increase its caloric intake Picture Quote #1
