Bill: A Progressive Environmental Reform Blueprint: Keep Beluzia Healthy, Strong and Clean, End Corporate Pollution and Implement Strong Regulations
Details
Submitted by[?]: Unsubmissive Beluzian Workers 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: December 4268
Description[?]:
| We feel that environment is important and we shouldn't cut back regulations. They give us fresh air, they give us resources and most of all, they give us life. Softening regulation will allow big businesses and trans national corporations to pollute in waterways, the air etc. In the past, holding corporations accountable to the standards they created has forced them to pollute less and run cleaner operations -- the Beluzian business community didn't just uniformly decide to clean up their ways for the betterment of the public (despite what they may want you to think). It was years of holding corporations' feet to the fire, the promise of expensive and irritating lawsuits, and the potential of punitive fines that got them to green up their acts -- not a change of heart. |
