> That's like saying that cleaning my house means moving the dirt to somebody else's house. No, it's more like moving your cooking and garage wood shop work to someone else's house, taking the results home, and leaving the mess. The dirtiest parts of the production chain required to sustain our lifestyle have largely been offshored, not only because of cheaper labor but because less developed or more totalitarian countries will tolerate the pollution. Yes these things can be done cleaner, but that adds cost that people don't seem to be willing to pay. Americans want all of: (1) high paying good jobs, (2) clean air and water, and (3) cheap manufactured shit. Sorry, but it's worse than a trichotomy. If you pick 3 you have to pass on 1 and 2.
