Voting deadline: February 3214
Description[?]:
| I fear that in my time here on earth there may come a day when my grand child will ask me about the animals, the flowers, and the trees that once grew here in our wonderful nation. And I will tell him the stories of how before his time mankind used up nature for industry and when given the chance by God to save our world we destroyed it. Regardless if you believe that God created this world or not it is our duty to ensure that all the future generations have that which we enjoy now, clean water, clean air, and there are things that we as people, we as buisness and as the Government that we can do to make sure that future is kept. This bill is our step in the right direction. |
