Go back 100 years and the world’s most polluted countries would still be the ones rapidly industrializing at the time.

Your comment seems woefully ignorant of history, which is okay, but the world hasn’t _just_ existed for the last four decades.

Although I'm detecting a significant amount of hostility and condescension in your response, I'm going to ask you to elaborate on your position a bit more since I don't really understand what it is that you're trying to say. What do historical cycles of industrialization have to do with the observation that modern, information-rich consumers appear to have a growing moral imperative to prioritize human rights and positive environmental management when deciding how to allocate their discretionary resources (time / money)?
