Well my problem with the Chinese polluting their own backyard is that eventually that pollution will make its way back to us by wind and sea so yes we will all lose, its just that in the meantime we will put every American worker out of work in the process. I think we need to relax our pollution standards a bit and concentrate on other areas. For example I can't even recycle aluminum cans because in my big city because they don't have a pickup for them except for some of the outer neighbor hoods. There is also no way I would ever think of riding a bike to work, too many people thinking they are doin the world a favor driving little cars and "zoom zooming" in and our of differnet lanes cutting in front of and each other and we have almost no bike lanes anywhere. I think if we need to invest some of our EPA $'s in things like this.
