Pristine or plastic?

I actually created this piece for another project, but wanted to make some kind of green statement. I thought of lots of things, like how China's beauty was being spoiled with plastic water bottles, coal plants, and other practices harmful to our global environment. But how can we as Americans fault China, when they are only parroting what they see in the US.

As I sat and looked at this piece, it finally came to me that we have a choice, which is reflected in the title of the piece.
