"The Polluter Pays Principle: Those who generate pollution and waste should bear the cost of containment, avoidance or abatement."

A Chinese person will tell you that hundreds of thousands of Chinese are made ill or die each year from air pollution. Those who live in China should also acknowledge that China is doing much more than Australia in the form of renewable energy -- wind energy that is. Pollution control should not be confined to CO2. After all CO2 is often the end product of carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic hydrocarbons. Those that miss the burning process dump in rivers, oceans, soils and even on one's dinner plate. All matters are bound together - all are connected. about 1 year
