In 1993 the US, under the Clinton administration, negotiated a trade agreement with Mexico and Canada that eliminated tariffs between the three countries. For years the agreement was hailed as a bipartisan success story, proof that two parties can work together to do something good. Now NAFTA is a campaign issue, not because Hillary is touting her association with it.

In 1998, the FIFA World Cup in France said that it would not buy soccer balls made in child labor facilities. As well, Starbucks makes it possible for customers to buy "free trade coffee" which possibly came from child labor or "fair trade coffee" which is a little more expensive but came from a reliable source that doesn't enslave children.
This was a debate project. Unfortunately, I am not for the Kyoto Agreement, so I had to force myself to discover the good in it. I do believe that the concept is fit for the world, however, I think it was poorly executed this time around. I am happy that Bush did not force us into it, as of now. That move was probably the ONLY I've ever agreed with.
