Opponents of NAFTA point out that pollution is largely a free good in Mexico also that being free to pollute gives industries in Mexico an economic advantage over those in the U.S. also Canada. Is there anything that can point us towards an equitable solution to this problem while still protecting the environment we all share? Illustrate what is that solution?
