Friend of the Future: DuPont

Our friends at DuPont are one of the world's largest users of perfluorooctanoic acid, used to make Teflon, which is used to coat cookware, clothing, carpet, the metrodome, etc.. The best part about this carcinogen, is that it doesn't break down! It accumulates in our bodies and the bodies of animals forever, which is why now 95% of the human population has this chemical in their blood. DuPont has done an outstanding job at contributing to the rise in cancer rates globally.

This isn't the first time DuPont has done something good for the future. DuPont also invented chlorofluorocarbons, which helped create holes in the ozone layer. They would have been successful if only given a few more years to do their work. But legislation around the globe stopped CFC's in their tracks.

Keep up the good work DuPont!

Friend of the Future Profile: China

Despite being the world's most populous country. China has the power to completely destabilize the entire planet at any given moment. They have a massive military and nuclear weapons, a history full of war and conflict, a secretive and rather oppressive government, and the motivation and dedication to reach long term goals.

In the last decade China has experienced incredible economic growth. This was achieved by making China a favorable place to manufacture goods with cheap labor, an artificially undervalued currency, and no real laws to speak of regarding pollution. China is the world's largest sulpher dioxide pollutor, probably the largest of multiple other toxins, and will be the largest greenhouse gas producer by this year, contributing heavilly to disease and cancer in their own country, as well as climate change and ocean pollution globally.

No one can know what China will do, but the potential for them to get involved in a war, or just to contribute heavily to poisoning the planet is very great. What's not to love?

Friend of the Future Profile: China National Tobacco

R.J Reynolds and Phillip Morris should be ashamed of themselves for allowing the anti-tobacco / anti-freedom interests in washington to take control. The situation has really gotten out of hand with now the MPAA considering changing ratings for movies that depict smoking.

China National Tobacco Co. is a shining example of what the tobacco industry should be. They command a massive 30% of the global market share and do an excellent job helping Chinese citizens consume 1.7 trillion cigarettes a year. An estimated 1.2 million people in China die every year because of smoking. A far cry from what the tobacco companies in America are doing.

Thank you China National Tobacco for doing your part.

Please show your support and buy some Chinese cigarettes!
