It's impossible for any nation to grow their economy without some form of industrialism or innovations. Thus, the carbon footprint will always be an issue. On one hand, third world countries want to progress to a more developed economy and overall quality of life. Industrial pursuits are the only way to accomplish this. India and Africa have some of the most impoverished populations that have little to no access to the basic needs. Some nations are so desperate for clean water that they will compost their toilets to use for soil enrichment, thus omitting the need to flush. In developed nations, we literally play in water-water parks. However, these nations cannot develop unless we use technology that will impact the environment and ecology. 

So, do we help people survive or do we help the planet instead?
