Abstract:
The best solution to Mexico’s environmental problems is to become an advanced industrial democracy like the U.S. Poverty and economic underdevelopment are the environment’s worst enemies. This is true not only in Brazil and Ethiopia and India, but also in the former communist states in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. A NAFTA will help eliminate this poverty, and with it, Mexico’s legacy of environmental degradation.
