And on a per capita, probably pollutes a lot more (I have no data on this). We just can afford to keep it out of _our_ water.

- anm89 7y agoI'm conflicted about this. As an American we are voracious consumers and highly ineffecient about it but I've been repeatedly shocked in trips to Taiwan and Vietnam about how the consumption there seemed frequently even more wasteful than what I was used to back home, especially in terms of plastic packaged in plastic packaged in plastic Russian doll scenarios that seemed totally egregious but really common. On the other hand I think it's a little bit easier to notice when it's not your culture for some reason so maybe I'm biased.
- conductr 7y agoI think Taiwan would rank closer to the top billion than the bottom, so maybe supports my thought?
