China and the United States

The Chinese and Americans are driving me crazy! They do so many stupid things and don't even think about the consequences to their actions in say, five, ten, twenty, fifty years! Example, Three Gorges Dam. The area that will eventually be flooded is an archeologist's treasure, with remains dating back more than a thousand years. There are beautiful pieces of art, and so many clues to how the Yangtze Valley was settled. Not to mention all the people's homes that will be soon underwater! Don't they care? I know that there will be positive things resulting from the Three Gorges Dam like hydroelectirc power, but couldn't they have waited for these to be evacuated? Couldn't they have helped the people who are losing their homes and way of life?

Another example are China's cities, which are sprawling at an alarming rate. So much pollution, don't they see that because of United States, their efforts, and the rest of the world, we are slowly destoying the world? At least the United States is slowly getting greener, China is up, up, up!

America too needs to get their act together. We need to conserve and stop thinking that we are the only people on the planet. People need to stop doing good for the environment just when it is convieniant for them, and make some sacrifices. We can do without SUVs people!
The United States and China need to realize that the world isn't theirs, and that it is their responsiblity as 'superpowers' to save it.
