The Green Dichotomy

I find it interesting that groups who opposed the imposition of global labour and environmental standards on the Indian agricultural sector are inaudible over the present voluntary, self-inflicted request for similar standards in the ship-breaking industry.

1st-world rules in a 3rd-world country will necessitate the loss of 3rd-world jobs.


Update: Seems the Greens won. The ship is headed back.

And what about the loss of third-world lives?

Right. And the loss of childhood and life in labour related areas is acceptable? The Green Dichotomy indeed.
