But doesn't it make you feel good, to know you are saving the planet. Never mind that the biggest polluters, China for one, give the world the old one finger salute when it comes to environmental issues. :angry:

If you really care about pollution, climate change, whales, seals or puppies, don't buy any products made in China.
