It has come to my notice that China is now destroying the cocoa plantations in Ghana in its search for gold.
Not only has China destroyed a lot of its own environment to become a leading industrial country, it is now destroying someone else’s.
I know in many ways we are as bad with fracking. But if a country wants to be a leading industrial power it should show some responsibility.
