Bill: Pollution Act

Details

Submitted by[?]: Fair and Equal World 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: April 2536

Description[?]:

Pollution is a serious public health issue, and as such, it deserves attention from the government. Corporations which are only interested in making a profit can't be trusted to regulate themselves. There needs to be governmental regulation to hold back the reckless pollution by these corporations. Companies can't be trusted to see the long-term perils of pollution. They simply want a better earnings report for the next quarter.

We offer this bill to protect the health of Rutania's citizens from potentially dangerous toxins released by greedy companies only looking to make a bigger profit.

Let's look at the long-term health of our planet. Will it really matter how much we cut government spending if our citizens' health is at risk? When staying alive becomes our primary concern, money loses its value.

Let's look at the long-term, people.

MessageAny interference by the government into business activities will be detrimental to the economic health of this nation. The ULR believes that business will see the plus side of being eco-friendly when it becomes a concern of their consumers, or when their business practices become unsustainable.
