End of Week 2 in Africa.
To catch everyone up, here are the cliff notes.
1) In 2002 three Americans were in Guangdong... Jim Puckett (BAN), Adam Minter (Shanghaiscrap.com), and yours truly. We saw different things. But the report with the least nuance (BAN's 80% dumping claim, claim that the water pollution was from e-Waste etc) got the biggest headline.
Make the biggest claim, get the biggest coverage.
2) In fact Guiyu China was not receiving the CRT monitors, they were going to SKD semiknockdown factories for remanufacture, and the water pollution found in "Exporting Harm" was telltale from textile dying. However, BAN ignored the nuance and created a Pledge of True Stewardship to raise more funds for their fledgling NGO.
