The US and EU are the big end customers for Chinese goods - Western economies shipped off the pollution from manufacturing, so it's not as straightforward as "its China's fault"

From this I get the impression that...
- Manufacturing in the states/EU where pollutant levels can be regulated is a good idea.
- Reducing consumerism as a culture would be useful.
Both of these go against trends (many in technology). Less consumerism means less stuff which is something wall street and SV are both pushing for. Moving to a service economy has been classified as a higher level than one with manufacturing. In the gamification metrics it would be to go backward.
