Bill: Better Protection for our forests
Details
Submitted by[?]: Secular Humanist party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: February 2442
Description[?]:
| Currently, forestry is assumed to be on a commercial basis, unless the goverment intervenes. We believe that forests should be entirely maintained and protected by the government. Trees are the lungs of the planet. They are needed to process all the CO2 emissions, and offset global warming. In addition, forests make beautiful scenery, and raise the value of surrounding land. They provide a place for the public to enjoy. We think that forests need more protection, |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Forest management.
Old value:: Local governments may set up forestry agencies. Where they do not, forestry is on a commercial basis.
Current: There is a national agency which exists side-by-side with commercial forestry companies.
Proposed: There is a national agency which owns and manages all forest land.

| Message | There is not sufficient evidence that our CO2 emissions significantly impact Terran climate. Furthermore, we believe that forests promote mysticism, which can not be tolerated in our secular society. The National Objectivist Party strongly condemns this legislation. By proposing this legislation, members of the Free Humanity Party have raised our suspicions that they may be involved in a Druidic cult. An investigation may be required. |
