Apparently it is a new concept. Look at everyone saving the planet by buying newly manufactured tons of plastic/rubber/aluminum/lithium.
LOL no! I just don't lie to myself in order to feel better.

Not a new concept but not one that seems to be followed/implemented. Perhaps pricing in the true cost of the environmental damage but that seems to anger a lot of people
. Any thoughts on the solution other than telling people to use less?That's what I'm saying, there is no option. Either we do it on our own, or mother nature will do it for us. It doesn't matter what the topic is, be it commercial fishing, or buying junk and producing garbage, or pulling ridiculous amounts of water from our aquifers, or buying a car with a 1200lb battery, nothing we do in the US is sustainable because of our perception of freedom.
I do like the "true cost" idea, btw.

US corporations in China.....
American & International Corporations In China-
NOTATION- even though this is a very long list of American and other foreign corporations in China,
it is certainly not a complete listing. We have only included a few of the names you may recognize.
This is a list of companies who either own factories, or have contract factories producing their products
in China. Some of the companies produce 100% of their products there, and others only produce parts,
or certain ingredients for their products. The list below is approximately 1% of the actual Corporate list.
Companies such as Avon, GE, and AT&T for example, have been in China and manufacturing products
for 20 to 30 years. Most American consumers simply had no idea. Previously their source was Japan.

Fun fact: Those solar panels aren't charging the cars. Those are fast chargers sucking up 240 volt grid power (double what anything in your house takes to run).
The solar panels power only the lighting and ATM's that are there.

No sense of replying to professor Taco but it cost $10 (average) to fully charge a 200 mile range battery. Not sure why he mentioned the 240 volt thing lol..... now I could say dumb ass but well that would be rude. Now keep in mind this is typically done at off peak (night) so even better. But ya fucking Tesla using the sun to power lights, the bastards.
