It's easy to get outraged (as we should) when we hear about a developing country recklessly polluting the environment but it's important to remember that the West has been doing this on a very large scale for a very long time. Climbing onto this (somewhat) high horse hasn't been an overnight process.


Developing or developed, basically every country engages in questionable environmental practices. The developed nations have the current edge, since many of their offenses occurred in the past and they are less accountable now...just like these DDT barrels.
