I meant US states looking into eachothers enviromental laws and seeking out those that make money or at least don't cost money, not doing it is a waste of money, therefor

I think this is an excellent idea. Government needs to be responsible since we individuals don't seem too motivated.

The EPA sets the standards that the states have to follow. If a state betters those standards they brag about it pretty good and everyone knows. If they better the standard and make money doing it, the EPA will increase the standard to reflect that. Making money is the big key, inevitable you will lose money by decreasing pollution, enforcing environmental laws, etc., but the environment is cleaner. It's a trade-off that the EPA fights everyday.

It'd be a waste of money. The U.S. does what it wants to anyway and ignores such international laws. We live in an elected dictatorship.
