Description[?]:
| President Owens has came to the capital and is giving a speech to Parliament about his ''Reduce Pollution Act of 3116'' that he has recently sent to Parliament for debate and vote. "Members of Parliament as you know, my good friend and our Environment and Tourism Secretary Jane Good testified in front of you all just a few months ago giving her report on the current pollution levels that Aloria is facing, I asked this report to be given because you must be kept in the loop. Her report showed that our pollution levels are currently still at 28 percent, pollution is hurting the environment of aloria and the health of our citizens. Our air is polluted and is not clean, our electricity costs are rising and our dependence on oil has risen even farther, our tourism industry has failed. This nation used to have one of the strongest environments ever and our tourism industry was huge but it is nothing like it used to be. That is why I am proposing the most sweeping environmental reform bill that I believe Parliament has ever seen proposed, and I am confident if passed that our pollution levels will fall. This can lead to a strength in our tourism industry which will strength our economy. This is not about tree huggers or anything like that, it is about clean air, clean energy, and our economy being put on the right track. I urge you all to pass this bill, I await your comments"- President Bill Owens |

| Message | Yes it is good, but don't go too far like forcing us to use nuclear or solar power or making people use non petrol cars. |
| Date | 06:05:15, May 07, 2011 CET | From | New Aloria Party (NAP) | To | Debating the Reduce Pollution Act of 3116 |
| Message | "I assure the labour party that we will not go extreme from this, my plan is to have all public transportation running on solar energy to lower the use of eltercity and gas, which in the end will lower the demand on the product of the prices. However that plan is far down the road as we don't have the investment for it. This bill will reduce our pollution rates, I move that this bill be moved to the floor for vote"-President Owens |
