| Message | OK :) At this moment, RDF is rather sceptical about this active governmental ecological policy, because we do not support government funding for this area. We could be convinced into supporting of this law, but we want broad discussion. Although, we are rather sure that this corrupt PCP/NLP government will not accept it. |

| Message | Regardless, it seems pretty obvious. We would take garbage that would just sit in a landfill and turn it into profit, while saving the environment. All parties should see something to gain from this bill. |

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
