John thought that he should do something to stop them. When Julie was in hospital he has seen many kinds from different parts of the world that are victims of the pollution and many rays which shouldn't be realized in the atmosphere.
So he started his act of revenge. He selected major companies that contribute to the pollution. In his research he found out that this pollution they cause are mainly deliberate actions that they do to make sure that they stay in the business.
He communicates with his victims only by tape. He records what he wants to say to them on tape using computer voice so that they couldn't find any voice match and they couldn't trace it to him.
