Do we? Has anyone ever been to Siberia? I worked for a Fortune 100 U.S. Chemical Company and traveled widely as part of my job. We are not the worst in the world, even though many would like us to think so.
I know the true story of Bhopal, the Indian Government is solely responsible for ever death (if any wants to know what really happened, send me a private message). I have seen burning rivers in Russia. Children whose mothers were exposed to so much mercury or lead that they are grossly deformed. Think of Love Canal applied to a city of 500,000 or 1,000,000. We may have had "Three Mile Island" but the Russians had
Chernobyl. 
I am not saying that we should stop what we are doing to improve the environment or hold those responsible accountable for their actions, but my experience says we are not the worse.
