Yes, I know, another of roscoes semi-communist tree-hugging quotes. Enjoy. This one comes (again) from Paul Hawken's The Ecology of Commerce.
"It's time we stop pretending that industries which degrade and poison are economic or useful. The present vision that informs 'economic' activity is so grossly misinformed and out of touch with ecological reality that Lawrence Summers, the chief economis of the WOrld Bank, can issue a now widely publicized memo calling the low pollution in African countries uneconomic: 'Underpopulated countries in Africa are vastly underpolluted, their air quality is probably vastly ineffeciently low [in pollutants] compared to Los Angeles or Mexico City.'"
Emphasis is mine.
Underpolluted?
