Good article in the NY Times on Environmentalism in China. I need to update the lesson plan I created on Pollution in China a while ago. China changes so fast! Pollution is a major challenge that China faces in it's amazing rapid growth. Pollution is a problem and needs to be weighed against the economic growth needed to sustain the party in power. It's a huge positive the amount of people in China whom are no longer in poverty because of all the growth.

The Economist had a front cover story about some of the challenges China is facing and it's free without subscription!

China, beware
The country's rulers care too much for their own welfare, and too
little about the rural peasants
