That basically blames US consumers for Chinese policy and environmental practices - how is a US consumer going to force China to stop using coal powerplants? The choice/substitution argument doesn’t work when there are no practical alternatives. This is why climate change and pollution are not individual choices, but a global imperative. Anything short of global coordinated action to mitigate won’t work (and won’t be enough). What individuals can do is put pressure on their officials and buy sensibly when choice is there. |

Not at all, this is not personal consumer's choice. Consumers can only make efforts to fight consumerism and push for political change.
