| Message | lol. Moderate restrictions would only hurt companies who are causing damage to health and the environment - both of which are a cost to the economy. |

| Message | At the risk of boring you all, environmental protection on such a small scale will be ineffective as pollution does not recognise political boundaries. |

| Message | Moderate restrictions are more than enough. Increasing restrictions beyond what this proposes to do would do nothing more than drive off businesses. We'll support this, but no further. |
