    Sooo… strip mining is better because it’s less visible (it’s actually not. source: have driven around the US)?

      Well,… Yes. It’s not visible, so it doesn’t bother as many people. As long as sweatshops are situated in Thailand and not in European cities, it’s easy to buy a cheap pair of jeans and not think about where it came from. Same with a coal pit “somewhere else where I am not”.
