I have often thought that globalization has often been a means of sending 1st World volumes of manufacturing into places with 3rd World environmental, health, and safety laws. It took us time to build up our EHS standards to their current level, and our volume of manufacturing took time to build up also. If all demand were satisfied in countries with equivalent levels of EHS to the target market, the amount of pollution, etc. would plummet quite a bit just from that alone.
