Toxic Linfen China From VBS.tv

The latest in the Toxic series from VBS.tv focuses on what has been deemed the most polluted city in the world, Toxic Linfen China.

With all of the buzz surrounding Beijing's air quality leading up to the Olympic Games which begin tomorrow, VBS.tv decided to explore the pollution problem themselves starting with the worst of the worst.

Like the Garbage Island piece Toxic Linfen reports from on the ground, interviewing the public and experts on all sides of the issue - how did it get this way and can it change? Linfen is one of 16 Chinese cities in the top 20 most polluted list, primarily because of China's dependence on coal for fuel.

TOXIC Napoli - From VBS.tv

VBS has begun posting the latest in their Toxic series which explores some of the most polluted places on the planet, this time they take us to Naples Italy.

I have to say, after having a pretty shady experience in Naples myself when I visited as a backpacking student I wasn't shocked to hear the name in conjunction with corruption and dirt, but I could have never imagined what is in this series. So sad - such a beautiful place on the planet that has been so important for hundreds and thousands of years - has been so poorly neglected and taken advantage of.

The first 3 of an 8 episode series are now playing on VBS.tv. Below is episode 2, I found it truly disturbing.

Garbage Island from VBS.tv

I love VBS.tv... They have some of the most interesting content I've seen on any medium. This newest installment in the Toxic series Garbage Island really spoke to me, maybe it was The Deadliest Catch marathon yesterday, i dunno, it's just good.
