The boaters were later found, drowned.

What a massive waste of a precious gas, and what a bad case of polluting the nature! #5 looks cool though...

slowly is right! china and the US are still way behind where they should be, and emerging economies usually don't give much of a crap about this stuff.

one of the few countries that seems to take sustainability quite seriously is germany.
