China's environmental stance will inspire world

I watched The Full Monty the other day. The 1997 British comedy is one of my favorites.

For those who don't know, it tells the story of a group of unemployed, or underemployed, former steelworkers, and their humorous attempts to make money and find dignity after the mills close in their industrial hometown in the heart of Britain.

It starts ironically, with a glossy UK government information film from the early 1970s that depicts their town as a happening, vibrant, affluent and futuristic place. Then, the movie fast-forwards to the decayed, impoverished city it became after the mills closed. What a turnaround.
