Am I alone in thinking it’s incredibly arrogant for the American government to hold itself to an entirely separate standard from the rest of the world? Our environment is failing in part due to the disproportionate amount of pollution the US pumps into the atmosphere, groundwater, and oceans. We should be jumping at every opportunity that keeps our planet lush and green for future generations to enjoy. Instead, per usual, we’re expecting the rest of the world to turn their backs on the American refusal to curb the use of a toxic chemical, while the rest of the developed world has managed move towards the elimination of pesticide methyl bromide. The US uses more of the ozone-depleting chemical than THE REST OF THE DEVELOPED WORLD COMBINED. Can protecting big business really be more meaningful than protecting a planet that billions of people live on?
Am I alone in my outrage?
