The proposed use of nuclear weapons , pollutes the psyche with the arrogance of infinite power . Ground water and drinking water aquifers are severely polluted in these areas ; odors and trace toxic gasses affect the health of the surrounding population ; and the land has been rendered useless for other purposes . The local water management district is in the midst of a US $ 100 million project intended to restore Lake Apopka , the largest body of severely polluted water in Florida . But he has been criticized for not doing more to clean up the severely polluted air . Cancer Alley , Louisiana - - the stretch along the Mississippi River between Baton Rouge and New Orleans - - has supported a thriving petrochemical industry since the end of World War II. Producing nearly one-fourth of the nation 's petrochemical products - - from fertilizers , gasoline , and paints to plastics - - it also pollutes the region with poisonous chemical waste . Although jumping out of the water to attack oil rigs and boats is a cool concept , some missions require you to attack sunbathers on the beach and toss exploding oil barrels with your tail at huge oil rigs polluting the waters . In most countries the government puts high taxes on work and investment and low taxes on using the environment , which means they are heavily penalizing what they want to encourage ( people to work and companies to expand ) and barely tax what they want to discourage ( polluting and over-using the environment ) . It is energy inefficient , pollutes water , occupies many acres of land , and deteriorates the health of the people who abuse its consumption . It drives faster , is safer , pollutes less , is more durable , needs fewer days in repair and is more fuel-efficient than even the best cars of 1960 . The municipal authorities dispose of about 50 % of the city 's solid wastes , while the remainder is either managed informally by poor urban residents or , remaining uncollected , pollutes the urban environment .
