Outside of Chernobyl, you may not have heard of these 10 most polluted places on Earth.   But luckily Our Amazing Planet has and Earth Day seems like a good time to highlight it.

Progressives won't be thrilled at the common denominator in 7 of them - communist control - and the other two are in socialist countries, which means it's unlikely government can solve problems related to the environment.    All 10 of them were or are very poor which reaffirms the point that if Earth Day advocates would focus on helping poor people first instead of telling everyone to go back to the Dark Ages, we would get greener.
