It's a very sad truth. In many developed countries where certain environmental protection schemes are in place it is much cheaper to have these products manufactured in China. It is a very distressing topic. The sad truth is where there is money involved people will do what they can get away with. In China, the pollution policies have been poorly regulated and enforced. It's true that many culprits for this pollution are joint venture companies between 'Western' nations and China. People know the damage and impact it has on the environment but where business and economy are concerned people are lacking moral courage.

Thankfully there are some advocates of environmental protection in China (both local and foreigners). I hope they receive the full support of the community, government and law in China.

I believe these 'carbon trading' schemes are the biggest myth of the 21st century. For too long governments have complained that this action will damage the economy. Now that 'carbon trading' has become a commodity of its own it has full governmental support. It smells of trouble to me. I am in full support of a better world but we do that by consuming less, not just consuming environmentally responsible products.[/quote]
