Seven billion pairs of shoes a year

Seven billion pairs of shoes a year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Another day, another mind-boggling statistic from China. And that just exports,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which would apparently not include the shoes manufactured for domestic consumption.
If we all exhibited the footware fetishism that Imelda Marcos is reputed to have wallowed in, there would clearly be a market for all those shoes and more. And hey,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there are nine pairs of shoes in my own closet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so the than the world can wear at one time phraseology is a little misleading.
But still,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 7 billion pairs of shoes a year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], from one country? It seems excessive.
China Digital Times provided the link to the two-part article,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which was written by two Chinese environmentalists,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Gaoming Jiang and Jixi Gao,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and comes courtesy of a Web site called China Dialogue,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which should be an immediate addition to the blogroll of anyone who wants to keep an eye on Chinese environmental issues. Founded by Scottish journalist Isabel Hilton and headquartered in London, with an additional office in Beijing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], China Dialogue features articles that make for hard reading eyewitness accounts of environmental carnage that beggar description. In the West,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], some wonder whether it is fair to hold developing nations to the environmental standards of the developed world. to criticize Malaysians for cutting down trees, long after chopping down nearly all of their own forest cover (thanks to the Oil Drum for the link). . ."
