Ahmadinejad Blames World Powers for Environmental Pollution

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took the capitalist powers responsible for the growing trend of environmental pollution across the world.
The main cause of destruction of environment in the world is insatiable thirst of the capitalist system for exploiting natural and mineral resources, Ahmadinejad said on Thursday.

He made the remark in a meeting with the environment ministers of the economic cooperation organization (ECO) in Tehran.

"World's capitalists get the maximum benefit from natural resources by encouraging extravagance," Ahmadinejad added.

Expressing his gratitude with the mid-term environmental roadmap of the ECO member-states, the president pointed out that ECO is an important organization and its member-states with a population of more than 400 million have rich culture and civilization, as well as valuable energy resources.

"The capitalists, particularly the US launch production lines that do not comply with the environment. They are not willing to rectify their production lines to the benefit of environment because they want to make the most out of their assets and performance," President Ahmadinejad added.

Referring to the fact there three countries that cause more than 50 percent of the environmental pollutions in the world, he said that environment pollution has now gone beyond merely creating greenhouse gases.
