| Message | The ancient territory of Louisiana, now in Majatra's great sea, was allowed to regulate its own waste management systems. The vehicular paths there were overgrown with brush and constructed with terrible quality, and as an old scripture reads about the edges of these same paths, "...and ash rained from the sky above, unto thy lands of Lexington and Louisiana, betweenst thou very own brush and grass, but the ash from above symbolises not burning, but the butts of cigarettes and the rubbish from the very large K in an equally large circle, beneath those golden arches which cover our lands..." Jonathan of Cleese, 1982 It is an historical example of when local provinces are allowed to manage their own waste and recycling policies. The litter from Louisiana existed long after the advent of recycling facilities. |

| Message | I believe our Provinces can use that as an example on what NOT to do then? |
