Bill: Recycling V2
Details
Submitted by[?]: Maroon Party
Status[?]: defeated
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: December 2055
Description[?]:
| Now that the balance of power has shifted back in favor of the moderates, I propose that we adopt a more sensible recycling policy, based on economic and common sense. If the cost of recycling is higher than the cost of producing a new good, then more resources are being used to recycle than would be used to produce a new good. These resources come out of the ecosystem, which means that the environment would be harmed. On the other hand, if the cost of recycling was lower than the cost of producing new goods, then people would recycle of their own accord since it would save them money. It's okay for the government to support recycling; but forcing people to is counterproductive. |
