Environmental Irony

Been reading news articles lately on pollution in Asia. It's pretty discouraging. Being "green" is often a privilege of the better-off (ever price a Prius?) and developing countries sometimes take the same attitude. Their focus is on economic development, not so much environmental impact. The irony of the news lately is that the businesses, specifically fish farming, are creating problems that are hurting the businesses.
