Who says the Chinese aren't committed to the environment?

A mountainside that was left brown and dead by quarrying in China is now green again. Government workers spraypainted the bare rock green and the paint fumes drove several people from their homes. I've got to hand it to the Chinese. Most nations would just leave the old quarry site barren, but the Chinese have gone the extra mile by coating it with toxic chemicals for no good reason.

I knew they loved the enviroment. I thought using unwanted/un-needed babies from a family that already has a child, for fertilizer, was a great idea! Now this just shows me they are serious about their committment!

At least they did something.

I think it would have looked more natural bare. That green doesn't match the rest of the ground at all.

Urmm they do care in some regards.

For example, they're planting a fair few trees to try and stop the Gobi desert from growing larger (which would be a tremendous pain in the arse to them), and this, although it turned out a bit wrong, was at least an attempt to make the environment nicer.

"Hey guys, look, I accidentally ran over your dog, but I stuffed him and sewed him back up and now he's good as new!"

I even painted over the blood stains. Sorry, I only had blue paint.

This once again proves that the Chinese are terrorists.

Someone needs to be punched in the arm. Really hard. This is just stupid.

Terrorists? Crazy perhaps but they have little in common with terrorists such as the IRA who essentially used extortion, kidnapping and bombing to a political aim, or alternatively the extremist muslim terrorists who wish to end the western worlds culture. However i still agree this action is pointless and harmful to the environment and nearby humans. Surely it would be better to just leave the quarry

Urmm well maybe they'd have been a lot better off planting shrubs, to be honest, than just leaving it.

Although looking at it again - it looks like a cruise missile with the main payload as Humbrol green paint smashed into the mountain.
