Correct and the previous commenter is practicing some clear 'US Defaultism'. However, unrestricted Western consumerism is a massive part of what's happening worldwide. We all want cheap everything and nobody is stopping western companies from using the absolute worst suppliers and production methods for everything (exaggerated, but not much). Companies like 3M, Bayer, Dow, Shell and BP are polluting the whole world directly. Companies like H&M and Primark are doing it indirectly by using the cheapest supplier for mass market crap they sell. I recently heard that most bamboo fiber (which westerners buy because they think it's environmentally friendly) is produced in China, because the chemicals needed are extremely toxic and hard to properly process. In China they are just released into nature and as long as the Chinese company says they don't do that, the western companies can say they buy 'good fibers' and turn a blind eye to the pollution. This way we spread our love all around the world.
