We know the answer to this question. US is the biggest polluter in the world in totals and per anything. I am sticking my neck out on the last one, because I know that Australia is the biggest polluter per kangaroo and we have some other similar examples. On the other hand, US have some kangaroos in their Zoos and therefore worse than Australia also.
US is definitely the smallest polluter per American Eagle or as we can see repeatedly on Internet, per Porno star.
