I am an american living in China. Can we talk??? Everything that destroys our earth is not caused by what our cars put out.. Have you lived in China?
Where I have lived here, Penglai, or visited, Beijing,Tianjin,Quindou, Shanghai, Hong Kong. I have never in my life seen such filth and distruction. Where are you getting your info? The Chinese government, a government who hasn’t told the truth to it’s people since the beginning of communist rule. The factories emmit so much crap into the air, in 30 days I only see the sky two, maybe three on a good month. It is so thick it is similar to fog. They get rid of all the left over from their factories and dump it in the oceans.. So when you sit at the beach you can smell it. If you want to sit at the beach.. Which is covered with garbage. People take dumps in the middle of the sand, they throw their trash any where, except in a trash can. They may not give off emmissions from vehicles, but take into account the government keeps them so poor that all they can afford is to ride a bike. If they do have a car, they use it so much they will not walk down the street to go to a store any longer they drive their car. As things change and they start driving more (take into account that they have had so little for so long that it may take a while) they will be far more distructive with their vehicles then we are.
There are just a few things we see every day living in China. The smell of bleach in the water coming out of the factories is awful. Ask Korea and Japan how they feel about what pigs these people are. They care about NOTHING….
So when you look at Americans changing things, and trust me, I see nothing wrong with that. I live within your experiment every day, with the exception of electricity use. We don’t use ac we don’t use heat.. we use very little water. We buy our food for the day, every day. We have a refrigerator now.. a small one like the college kids use.
So… although I appreciate your walks up the stairs and all you gave up for a WHOLE year. Remember, you are reading something that someone wrote and wanted you to believe… This whole world is hurting.. and to specify the need in one country rather then another is irresponsible at best.
