Cheaper methods of production are more harmful to the environment.

If a company wants to make money at the highest levels they will forego the environmental protections on their factories or transportation because it cost more money. For example factories to be environmentally friendly need to put filters and special air purifying machines within the factory. With the introduction of the EPA in the 1970s, many companies began moving factories to other countries so they did not have to incur the expense of modifying their factories for environmental standards.

That is because environmental issues are usually expensive in the short term and nobody wants to risk their money in such investments. It is economically inefficient to pursue environmental interests so many just opt to pursue personal wealth.

Delicious77 [7]

The result of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) meeting in 1993 during the Clinton administration was the creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO).

The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) is a legal agreement between many countries, whose purpose was to foster international trade by reducing or eliminating trade barriers such as tariffs or quotas.

GATT was signed by 23 nations in Geneva on 30 October 1947, and took effect on 1 January 1948. It remained in effect until 123 nations in Marrakesh on 14 April 1994, signed the Uruguay Round Agreements, which created the World Trade Organization (WTO) on 1 January 1995. The WTO is a successor to GATT.
