For the last 15 years we have heard a great deal about the benefits of international free trade and lowering trade barriers, and the need vigorously to enforce trade agreements.

Michigan and other states' legislators should pass resolutions urging observance of the treaty, and requiring domestic recycling and reuse of electronic "waste."
