Quote:Good idea, but: pollution is a global problem.You are right. But, each of us is most capable in helping to solve local problems. While I do care about massive pollution and exploitation of third world nations, there is very little I can do about it when their systems of government allow for such exploitation. Also, let's not get distracted with other people's excrement, and ignore the stink in our our back yards.
Now, let's say this philosophy were applied here, and then spread to the rest of the world. The hole that needs plugging and global enforcement are the international spaces, such as air pollution, river pollution and ocean dumping.
