I've heard of environmentalists using mobile high speed connections to take video of deforestation or some nasty pollution and use their connection as a way to blow the whistle.

"Is there something that you think limits it to large emissions producers rather than anybody in the world?" The states have argued that the larger the greenhouse gas emitter the stronger the connection linking pollution and potential harm.
Even if the environment in the U.S. is in many ways cleaner than it was in 1970, the country is more crowded, consumes more, wastes more, and is more aware of the connection of pollution to health.
There will need to be some understanding from environmentalists, for these wind energy conversion systems (WECS) can affect the life of a bird flying into the rotor, and resort hotels have been known to protest siting a wind farm nearby for fear of noise, visual pollution and image (the connection to the region being too windy).
Among the postulated roles of gap junction communication are coordination of activities of specific groups of cells, nutrient sharing, regulation of growth and oncogenesis [ 54], although a connection with pollution does not seem straightforward.
Moreover, because light (transmitted as electromagnetic waves) is typically generated by electricity, which itself is usually generated by the combustion of fossil fuels, it can be said that there is a connection between light pollution and air pollution (from fossil-fueled power plant emissions).
And the connections between pollution and weather are complex and unpredictable: people at the time understood the link between the volcano and the haze, but not the connection with events the other side of the globe.
