When I was working in colleges of Oxford, the unbearable method they use to deal with food usually leaves me thinking' How can Oxford still be the top university that it is consuming the whole world's food regardless the severe poverty of many people?' Many westerners are blaming and criticising China and India for polluting the environment, trying to ignore that the pollution volume per capita of China and India is only about 1 fifth or less of that of most developped countries. They seldom listen to us, they hardly practise other cultures, no need to say that they would appreciate others' lifestyle while their materialism is running out this planet.
