Pollution is way down
According to environmentalists, up to 100,000 premature deaths caused by air pollution can be avoided if the economic shutdown continues at the same rate for the next year. With factories shut down, transportation restricted, and many people staying close to home, the earth is breathing a sigh of relief. According to the Centre for International Climate Research in Oslo, this impact is being felt all over the world. Satellite images confirm that our planet is indeed getting a much-needed break.
