I don't doubt your contention that China is the world's worst polluter. But that doesn't excuse the amount of waste in the US and nearby regions we impact.

Carnival Cruise Lines got involved in a lawsuit because illegal dumping of waste and in some cases falsifying records. They got off with a fine. As usual, money talks. What I'm saying is let's take care of the problems which are in our realm while we're commenting on others.

Yes, everyone can agree on that statement. Less waste, more efficiency, more recycling. I have the view the environmentalism is simply sensible micro-economics. You shouldn't waste and you don't pollute, because it ultimately costs you money, in both the short-term and long-term.

We're not perfect, but environmental awareness in North America and Europe is far ahead of the rest of the world.
