> ? I would give up every bit of cheap plastic junk in a heartbeat if it meant my great grandchildren will have a homeland to live in peace that's exactly what globalization did for billions of people once oppressed by colonialists Countries, such as the UK. You could stop buying cheap plastic, but you'll never get the empire back. Because people want their great grandchildren to have a homeland to live in peace But…
