Good Points. I remember burning rivers in Pennsylvania and Ohio in the late 60's. I think China will get better too. Of course there are still lots of opportunities globally to do better. There is plenty of blame to go around if we look in the mirror. Hopefully we all do this everywhere. Recent pictures of London and Los Angeles. The third picture was 1988 in New York.

Previously the Melamine fiasco company was actually in partnership with a NZ milk powder company. I use NZ as an example as it is reguared as a clean and green paradise, which it is.. THERE YOU GO. if NZ is so bad, China doesn't seem as bad after all. The reason why pollution levels have increased over the last 10 years is simply because of the massive increase in the amount of cars.
