I went to see interview with Al Gore today at Ryerson University. Obviously he spoke a lot about the need to protect the environment.  This image of Bagmati River really sums up the state of environment in Kathmandu, the water is undrinkable, the air is practically unbreathable, and the dirt/dust is everywhere. In North America and Europe, we are so fortunate to have the environment where we are able to take deep breath in the street and drink tap water.
