Earth Hour aside...this is the most ridiculous post I have read in a long while on here.
Why do you think those developing countries produce that much waste? To fill the demand for cheap manufactured goods in the developed world (ie Canada). Anyone who thinks that our society is not equally if not more responsible for the waste produced by LDCs is just fooling themselves. Mass consumption is to blame, not the countries you mentioned.
