erynthered Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 “Made in China” means. You are supporting this every time you buy something “Made in China”.
kegtapr Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 "Made in China" means. You are supporting this every time you buy something "Made in China". Did you figure that out all on your own?
erynthered Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 Did you figure that out all on your own? No, Beerball told me.
KD in CA Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 No worries. The UN/global warming cultists have deemed China a "developing country" so their pollution doesn't count.
BuffaloBill Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 Check these out...pretty f*cked up. http://www.chinahush.com/2009/10/21/amazin...ution-in-china/ Looks like the U.S. in the mid to late 1800's. Sad because the pollution does drift around the globe.
Chef Jim Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 I was flying back from Hawaii a couple of years ago and the sky was full of brown smog. Not sure if it was from China but I wouldn't be surprised.
DC Tom Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 Still cleaner than Nor'ilsk, where the air itself is crunchy.
Just Jack Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Some things I saw when with a tour group in China, two years ago this month.... 1) Smog - we were told that's fog, not smog. Uh, fog eventually burns off as the day goes on, this stayed in the air all day 2) Nuke plant - We were told by our guide it wasn't a nuke plant. Funny, I know what a cooling tower looks like and there was even a sign on the highway exit that said Nuclear Plant 3) The river water in Shanghai was brown. Pity, would have been a really nice waterfront area except for that
John Adams Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Looks like the U.S. in the mid to late 1800's. Sad because the pollution does drift around the globe. In the 1940s, 1950s...hell even the 60s and 70s were no treat.
Chef Jim Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 In the 1940s, 1950s...hell even the 60s and 70s were no treat. I remember all the dead fish floating in lake Ontario in the 70's.

Fezmid Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 In the 1940s, 1950s...hell even the 60s and 70s were no treat. I lived in Love Canal as a kid, so yeah...
GoodBye Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Nah, it was probably about 8 hrs after Lana had taco bell. Actually it was Baja Fresh. Waaaaait a minute!
Tcali Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Check these out...pretty f*cked up. http://www.chinahush.com/2009/10/21/amazin...ution-in-china/ great link Bills_fan.... I have a close friend who travels to China monthly to purchase clothing from factories. She says it is like hell as soon as you get out of the big city downtowns.Unbelievable poverty and pollution.
John Adams Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I lived in Love Canal as a kid, so yeah... I had a job working security at Love Canal in 1990 while I was in college. Spooky neighborhood with all those empty houses--and the occasional occupied one because a few (insane) people refused to leave.

Spooky neighborhood with all those empty houses--and the occasional occupied one because a few (insane) people refused to leave. We actually lived in the heart of the neighborhood -- in the area that was so bad, they crushed the houses into the basements, capped them off, and then put up a fence around the entire area. The worst part is that I didn't seem to even get any super powers from living on a landfill!
