Stairs, which are all that remain where a house once stood, are pictured in Waveland, Mississippi, August 26, 2015. FEMA described Waveland as "ground zero" for Hurricane Katrina. Next to a newly built city hall and a business center, dozens of housing lots remain empty. Grass and brush have grown around old "for sale" signs, some of them offering reduced prices. The whole region is littered with memories of what happened 10 years ago, and the possessions and the people that were lost. Picture taken August 26, 2015. REUTERS/Jonathan Bachman - RTX1Q1MY

Smoke rises from chimneys of a thermal power plant near Shanghai March 26, 2014. China's energy-hungry, high-polluting industries continued to grow too fast in 2013, putting "huge pressures" on the environment and causing air quality to worsen, the country's pollution agency said on Tuesday. Premier Li Keqiang "declared war" on pollution in a major policy address this month, but China has long struggled to strike a balance between protecting the environment and keeping up economic growth.
