> but I believe western style environmentalism is quite a stretch. I don't think so. In fact, it might be a great opportunity if we were able to create a system that would allow for accountable steps towards environmental protection. One reason why western societies work so well is that despite having more taxes and regulations, the tax revenue are generally used judiciously and the regulations followed in good faith by most participants. This just doesn't happen in many non-western countries, where corruption is more common. But just like the World Bank provides funding for specific infrastructure projects, perhaps this can be extended for environmental projects as well.
