Major General Smedley Butler has described how, as a US Marine, he had been “a high class muscle-man for Big Business…a gangster for capitalism” who had helped to make Honduras, Mexico, Haiti, various Central American republics, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic “safe” for plunder by American fruit, oil, and sugar corporations and banks in the early twentieth century.
The US today along with a small and exclusive club of ‘developed’ countries guzzles a disproportionate share of the world’s scarce resources including fuel, paper, and food. It is also responsible for a disproportionately high share of global pollution. Although constituting only five percent of the global population, the U.S. emits more carbon dioxide, consumes more paper and other forest products, and produces more municipal waste than any other country.
I think that this has to do with pollution. I think that this causes pollution. I really enjoyed reading this quote. Pollution is caused by a lot of things and I think that this is one of the reasons why pollution is caused.
