Details
Submitted by[?]: Centre Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: May 3209
Description[?]:
| The people of Cobura should be proud of what our country does to help the environment. However, the Centre Party believes that national guidelines and regulations are required in order to ensure standards which are consistent throughout the nation. Allowing some areas of the country to have more slack ecology laws than others will only lead to trouble. For example, some companies may more specifically to areas where there are less environmental controls so they can spend less on battling pollution. It is wrong to allow that and we must protect this beautiful country of ours. |

| Random quote: "John Burroughs has stated that experimental study of animals in captivity is absolutely useless. Their character, their habits, their appetites undergo a complete transformation when torn from their soil in field and forest. With human nature caged in a narrow space, whipped daily into submission, how can we speak of its potentialities?" - Emma Goldman |
