Important points:
- There are very high costs on the environment that have been caused by the free trade among NAFTA counties.
- A report shows that the high jump in pollution in the world is mostly caused by NAFTA
- Instead of making these deals that uses dirty fossil fuels, NAFTA could've used their time to invest on clean fuel instead.
I am not so surprised about NAFTA's involvement in the high rise in pollution. This is because among the countries is America. It is probably one of the most pollution-causing countries along with China. I also agree with the last quote by Alejandro Villamar. : “If only NAFTA countries could learn from the fiasco, but they are busy signing more NAFTA-like deals around the world, further taking away our ability to protect the environment and merely crossing their fingers that our ecosystems can sustain all this new growth,".
I cannot blame anyone for wanting power and money, however, in this year alone there have been many anomalistic weather patters such as the super typhoon Yolanda. Breaking even the highest range of winds, it is most likely caused by the rise in temperature and rise in pollution. It is sad that what could have been is one of the most wanted dreams. That "could have happened dream" is the dream of having sustainable fuel which allows the air to be cleaner and the temperatures to be normalized, resulting in regular and relatively controllable weather.
BIGBOYYY, I found it interesting that you were able to pick out reasons why NAFTA was causing a large percentage of the high jump in pollution. However, to improve the validity of your explanation, you could have put statistics that proves your points. Also,you should mention how much pollution Mexico and Canada produce as well so that it helps enforce the idea that NAFTA is causing the most pollution
ReplyDeleteAccording to your blog NAFTA is responsible for today's environmental disasters. Do you think they should be punished in any way for the pollution that they have created? I think NAFTA should be responsible for cleanup and relief efforts in America when environmental disasters occur. The environment should not be destroyed for economic gains.
