90% of the junk we consume is built in Asia. 90% of the trash we produce is shipped back to Asia and Africa for """recycling""". Sometimes it's good to take a few steps back and a good hard look at ourselves before blaming china / africa / russia / whoever_as_long_as_it_isn't_me. First world countries are the root cause of China's and Africa's pollution. Why do you think everything is delocalised there ? Because rich EU/US companies want to help the poor locals ? Or because it's cheap af and there are next to no regulations concerning pollution ? http://www.spiegel.de/international/tomorrow/electronic-wast... https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/burning-truth-... |
