The whole thing is designed to make you feel bad about yourself while the "undevloped countries" are given a pass. Look at all the Made in China tags proudly displayed on almost every Trek under $1000.
Food for thought.
If we just do what the Chinese and Indians do, we will be like them.
I do not think that will appeal to you or me.
We need to do better.
Do not be so sure that a cleaner environment and cleaner manufacturing will not produce a better way of life. I suggest that we are careful that other nations do not show us the way and we loose our position in the global economy.
This statement has nothing to do with environmental activism. It is opportunism.
