Export of Containers full of US made goods reaches an all time high...I just hope they are not full of paper to be recycled in China...!
Even if they were mostly filled with paper going to China, wouldn't the GDP increase of new jobs for box builders, container loaders and unloaders, and business executives to run larger operations help offset the environmental issues enough? And even if not, think how much of a positive impact we can have on the environment with our increased capital! We could even invade China and make them clean up their act! Oh wait a second... they have a good chunk of our debt! Maybe we should just continue to keep quiet about their environmental crimes and use our new revenues to pay off our debt to them... or rather our -interest- on the debt XD
