Well, I'm not referring to waste disposal methods, nor do I think recycling is a great thing to fall back on for various reasons I'm not interested in elaborating on here, but that's beside the point, though interesting that you're citing this one element. Also your chart is from 2010, which... Haha.
Doesn't take away from the fact that the '3rd' world isn't the sole culprit (you're the one who initially stated 'someone needs to stop the 3rd world from polluting and destroying the earth' - so you started the blaming, lol. ), nor the fact that it matters not whether the u.s. currently has decent environmental standards, when much of the legislation is being pushed to be rolled back/discontinued by the current admin, the current admin has dismantled much of the science, and ignores global warming. I just have a big lol response to your citing the upstanding environmental stewardship of the U.S. at this juncture.
