Individual EUers might care about the environment. It’s pretty hard to personally avoid any dirty imported stuff as you just don’t know where it all ends up. Though I guess overall voting patterns might back up your argument

What are you talking about its trivial to avoid purchasing product's produced in environmentally unfriendly ways.

All products from China are manufactured with electricity that is largely coal.

You just mean it's not economical.

> electricity that is largely coal.

Kind of. China is at 55% Coal and 40% Renewable, with renewable climbing each year.

Compare to USA 40% Gas, 20% Coal, 20% Renewable, with renewable more or less steady.

Brother if you believe that I have a bridge to sell you.

Are you trying to say that it's trivial to avoid buying Chinese manufactured products? Where is the keyboard you are typing on made, by the way?

[buckle8017]

Sure it's trivial, but it's inconvenient and expensive.

I don't do it because I accept that my keyboard was made with coal.

But I would prefer my keyboard was made in America burning American coal.
