OOOOoooo!An environmentalist in our midst?
I prefer the classic anecdote about catalytic converters. The platinum for them is mined in appalling conditions in Russia, where air, land and water is polluted during abstraction. Therefore, by the time the cat has finished it's useful life, there has been no net gain to the environment.
I'm bored by environmental issues, I should get a new job.

I'm an environmental consultantbut I sold my soul years ago and now work for the polluters.
At least I try to stop them polluting as much, and find ways to clean it all up. I can still sleep at night.
A troubling tale was when I went to South Africa: three days before I got there, there was a gas pipeline explosion at the refinery. By the time I was there, production was back up to speed, the area had been cleaned up and the company had paid a fine to the government for killing 16 black workers. That was when I started to question the sort of industry I'm working in!
