Life in China's most polluted city: Baoding
http://edition.cnn.com/2015/12/18/asia/china-second-red-alert-smog/
China is the #1 polluter in the world but also the #1 investor in green energy. It's a race between the two, but unfortunately the pollution is tied to rapid "development," which has no sign of slowing down. This video shows a guy who lives in China's most polluted city, yet works in a plant there that makes solar panels.
See Jared Diamond's Collapse, chapter "China, Lurching Giant," on how China lurches back and forth between destroying its environment and cleaning it up.
