Lol what? You realize that the Amazon rainforest gets cut down to make room for growing more future McDonald's hamburger patties, right? And that southeast Asian rainforests are being destroyed to make palm oil for Cadbury eggs? Did you forget about how big a deal it was when China decided it was going to stop importing our garbage? First world countries are "better environmental stewards" simply because we exported the environmental damage our consumerist lifestyles generate off to poorer countries with less infrastructure and regulatory oversight. We're not better, we just made it their problem to deal with and are destroying their backyards instead of ours. At the end of the day, we're still the real problem. This notion that they're more of a problem than we are is p much just victim blaming imo.
