When we write about China’s massive growth and the apocalyptic environmental consequences thereof, we are:

  1. not saying that China should refrain from developing, or that the Chinese should stay poor;
  2. not excusing the extravagant per capita level of consumption and waste in the U.S.

Instead, we are advocating that China move quickly and decisively to develop sustainable technologies, industries, and sources of power, and that the U.S. green movement support China in that quest however it can.

Thanks for listening.
