Is fighting against ” FREE TRADE ” the best way to be green ?
I see a lot of people in this forum concerned on how they can reduce their energy consumption, reducing green house emissions, blaming the problem on our society , or even complaining about their tenant refusing to recycle. I would imagine if we were to band together and fight to have NAFTA shut down, the positive impact to the global environment would be 10 folds greater.
When a company transfers it operations out of the U.S. , it has to follow the regulations of its host country. A lot of countries laws show little regard for the environment, and these companies will cut what ever corners they will be allowed to.
Should we not strive to bring them back onto the U.S., so we can keep a closer eye on them ?
julvurg – read my question before answering.
Linda – you said ending NAFTA, would cost us a lot of jobs…. NAFTA has allowed a lot of companies to leave the U.S., and hurt our economy.
Yes, that is an issue that is openly discussed so you’re not the first person to think of that. many companies move out of the us and into mexico because they can get away with more polluting there. it’s not that mexico cares less about polluting but they have less means with which to enforce their pollution standards.
I’m with you and I think that that should be an issue that leaders of both countries need to discuss more
