We're all to blame... you and your precious Mac's, your sweet lil designer kicks and your smooth-ass jeans. You buy - you add to it. Before you begin pointing your fingers - check yourselves.
It's a massive DUH that the whole world needs to get it's act together... but India and China are going to do whatver the fuck they want - they have their industries regardless of 'America's Outsourcing'... lay off the NPR, folks. :)
And what of America's neighbor to the South that has literal SHIT STORMS in dry winter months?
"During the dry winter months, untreated fecal matter also becomes airborne. The resulting dangerous mix is responsible for a wide range of respiratory illnesses. One study of twelve urban areas worldwide in the mid-1980s concluded that the residents of Mexico City had the highest levels of lead and cadmium in their blood. The volume of pollutants from Mexico City has damaged the surrounding ecosystem as well. For example, wastewater from Mexico City that flows north and is used for irrigation in the state of Hidalgo has been linked to congenital birth defects and high levels of gastrointestinal diseases in that state."

Let's talk IMMEDIATE history: Recall 60+ years ago when the United States stepped in and pulled the underwear (Japan and Germany) out of the World's ass?... the United States then proceeded to work to rebuild Europe and get THE WORLD'S economy back on track.
How quickly people forget the good this nation does. It's really no surprise though when you have a bunch illogical emotional environmentalists placing too much of the focus of an increasingly 'bad environment' on the U.S. - It's the proper political move to make these days... 'blame America'.
It's EVERYONE's problem and America isn't free of guilt - don't get me wrong... but blaming America and it's 'big corporations' etc is a weak argument - are you looking for America to lead the way? America can definetly take the reigns in an international effort... but blaming a country for something that's NO ONE'S and EVERYONE'S fault isn't exactly productive...
If you look to Florida and it's Everglade Restoration project - you'll see that people in the U.S. are getting the picture that Man isn't exactly able to change things and expect the 'Earth' to just accept it...
but stop pointing the fucking finger and take in the whole picture - you'll see that ignorance, arrogance and greed reside EVERYWHERE and are the true causes - America is one of Many.
