22. The biggest polluter in the world

is also the country with the largest population in the world - China.

Now we could just "go to war" against them to try to force them to shut down their smog-producing industries, despite our military being outnumbered 2 to 1, but I suppose we could try.

But as you'll notice, that since they and other countries in Asia make the very chips you are using to even post here, then you can do your part by discarding your devices to help eliminate the demand and thus the manufacture of such parts, which generates a huge carbon footprint.

Go ahead. Log off and make the world a better place.
