Pollution havens/pro/arg1

Argument 1
Developed countries exploit developing countries as they take advantage of missing environmental legislation and control. This leads to serious environmental pollution/cathastrophes. Example: Waste scandals in the 1980s. --193.174.11.19 10:57, January 24, 2014 (UTC) Anna,Ole


 * The requirements of the Basel Convention have been made more strict, in order to protect developing countries from exploitation. Therefore waste scandals like in the 1980s are unlikely. --193.174.11.19 12:19, January 24, 2014 (UTC) Katrin und Kerry
 * The USA, for example, haven't ratified the Basel Convention yet! Therefore they export waste to many countries and are not punished for that. --193.174.11.19 11:22, January 24, 2014 (UTC)Eva and Till
 * Nobody forces the developing countries to take the waste of the USA. 193.174.11.19 12:24, January 24, 2014 (UTC) Katrin und Kerry

((****)) But the USA want to get rid of their waste and use their political power to do what they want. --193.174.11.19 11:29, January 24, 2014 (UTC)Eva and Till
