Its just not fair to the rest of the world in this case.

Thanks for the reality check, but I'm just not ready to be pessimistic and complacent. I have lots of environmental cliches if you need some motivation!

LOL. Thats not even close to being complacent. Why would you think I am happy with that scenario? I have met and spoken to Rob Stewart in Toronto as one of my brothers is good friends with him and trust me, the situation is grim. There is no sense in trying to make it sound hopeful. Unless of course you know of a way to convince 1 billion people to abandon their culture. Ok...saying 1 billion is not quite correct since not everyone in China is eating shark fin and many, many people there comdemn it as well but you get the idea.
