| Message | The environmental evangelism that has been the policy pushed out of Vanderburg for years and forced onto hard-working Rutanians would be reversed by this bill. This bill would further enable our agrarian and rural communities to use the resources available to them to thrive economically. Three of our five states hold vast coast line yet politicians in Vanderburg prevent these communities from using the resources made available to them by nature in order to earn a better living. -Nathan Eddington Whig National Council Member |
| Date | 16:19:33, March 12, 2018 CET | From |  Liberal Party | To | Debating the Environmental Freedom Act |
| Message | This bill ruins environmental protections, and will destroy rural culture. This bill should die before it kills other aspects of the environment. |

| Random quote: "Thousands of Zardic soldiers were sacrificed so that the Zardic government could gain control of a few buildings and Theodoro could pretend to be Augustus the Great. This is the kind of jingoistic ideology Zardugal would bring to the Security Council. They will throw countless lives away in pursuit of former glory." - Prince Akhaias, former Coburan royal |
