I was reading an interview with Pixy Liao, a Chinese photographer who is living/working in Tennessee.

When I was in China, I always wondered how Western photographers were able to take such beautiful color photographs, because I was used to everything being grey due to air pollution. Once I got to the United States and saw the blue sky and colors popping out, I loved it, and I think that really stayed with me.

China is like that in many places because the economy is more important than the environment. That's what Pittsburgh, and a bunch of other cities were like in the first half of the 20th century. You could almost walk on the Delaware River if you weren't overcome by the smell.
We've made great progress cleaning up the air and water, despite the bitching and grousing about the federal bullies.
Do Not Throw That Away.
