| Date | 21:05:37, March 31, 2013 CET | From | Servaes Dynasty (Green-Rel) | To | Debating the Green Act |
| Message | We know that this might anger more decentralized minded people, this is to ensure that all regions are protected and not that companies deplete nature in regions with open nature laws |
| Date | 21:07:53, March 31, 2013 CET | From |  Beluz Democratic Karavist Party | To | Debating the Green Act |
| Message | The Karavs strongly disagree with Article 1, most of all. If there are forest agencies, they should be localized. The only problem we have, with the other articles, is that they are not business-friendly. Speranta DeKarav I, Countess-General of Iker Ado |
| Date | 21:14:43, March 31, 2013 CET | From | Servaes Dynasty (Green-Rel) | To | Debating the Green Act |
| Message | Article one is debatable. The other articles we view as essential to one, protect nature thus make sure we are healthy, and secondly to make sure that companies cannot exploit our fine forests and fill our air whit pollution. It is not business friendly, but these policies can still be followed by companies. We oppose whaling fundamentally as it is first not needed, and secondly that this specie is on the brink of extinction Lord Servaes |
