| Message | Ms. Veronika Okkenhaug I believe that our nation shall embrace green technology, a green way of thinking and a green policy, this bill supports none of my beliefs nor Retsforbundet's policy, we do therefore not support a single one of the articles and I see therefore no reason for compromising or discussing this further. Erik Scavenius (R) Spokesperson for Environment |

| Message | ((OOC: Sorry, I'm still not sure how to do roleplay correctly. But while I agree with all your other points, I don't believe that the last article would be a good idea, as the private sector tends to have horrible waste disposal regulation even with laws, and that's not much a matter of economy to begin with.)) |
