Crystal clear water in Venice was seen flowing for the first time due to a drastic decrease in pollution because of the Nationwide Coronavirus quarantine that was enacted in Italy.

Never in the last 60 years has water been seen so clear and beautiful.

… And from the chaos that seems to be happening, there flowed beauty.

I just happened to see the explanation for this on Twitter, and it’s actually the same level of water purity it’s been.

The social distancing wouldn’t reduce the amount of pollution in the water, humans still live in Venice. The difference now is that there aren’t as many gondolas and boats floating around and it’s causing less dirt to be kicked up. Hence the clearer water and hence why you can see the fish that were already thriving there.

As for the swans and birds returning to the waters, that’s just because of the reduced human activity. Once again, has nothing to do with pollution.

Y’all need to stop pushing this vaguely eugenicist stuff. This idea that all humans are a blight on the planet, and even our absence for a few short weeks is enough to reset the ecosystem.

Human beings are dying and suffering right now, and people want to focus on how much this is helping the environment and I?????
