I should perhaps explain that I work in China sometimes; have very good friends there. At the moment there’s a lot of noise in our press about how dirty and unsustainable China is; but it’s worth while noticing that China is the ONLY surviving ancient culture. Greece, Rome, Egypt, Babylon- all killed themselves off- partly through environmental corrosion. China- growing crops in carefully regulated terraces, for thousands of years- was doing fine until they had the idea forced on them, with guns, that they needed to get “industrialized” in order to have the respect of the world. It’s Western transplanted habits they need to get rid of. I don’t envy them the struggle- but there’s a huge number of wonderful people there, who are trying their hardest to do the right thing. Along with the new corporate greed folks, of course. It ain’t easy, being China.
