| Message | I like this idea as well. We seem to think quite alike when it comes to the environment at least. |

| Message | Well two out of three in common ain't bad. I agree when it comes to the environment and safety but as the name of my party implies, while I fully support freedom of religion I also support freedom from religion and a separation of church and state. |

| Message | Just like last time this was up, we must point out that while environment is very important, funding something through taxes does not make it better than a free market solution. There are firms handling recycling, and the government stepping all over the market will just make them lose their jobs. Is that the precedense you want to set: 'Invest in environment - lose your job!"? |

| Message | Excuse me? As of now, there is no recycling program. I am instituing a policy, that would allow us to re-use resources and make our neighbourhoods very cleaner and better for us to live in. |

| Message | Cons: As of now there is no _government_ recycling program. That does not mean people are not working with it. |
