this is what happens when a country doesn't take care of its own environmental problems. Don't expect western countries to come and help..be independent and take care of your own problems.

@rwjscaper probably yes. Are you gonna go and teach them about it or do you just like sharing your negativity with others?

@skillcentre Doesn't China have a lot of environmental issues though? What use is a country's wealth if there are problems in the environment? Think about the Tsunami and Earthquake in Japan this year, and Japan is a rather wealthy country, isn't it?
