| Message | The easiest way to lower the pollution produced by cars is to stop the production of fossil fueled cars. The technology is their to produce clean, efficient vehicles with the same speed and power outputs of fossil fueled vehicles, yet still we continue to produce gas guzzlers which do nothing but harm, where's the logic? Also, why force public industries into being forced to produce cleaner cars whilst allowing private business to produce anythin? Guess what, fossil fueled cars are cheaper to produce so would be cheaper to purchase, so guess which the citizenry would buy? In relation to the recycling programmes, why remove the mandatory residential laws? What's so difficult about placing a newspaper, a tin can, or other such good into a green bin? People are lazy and unless these laws are enforced people will not do it. These changes are bad for our environment and will do nothing for our economy so would be useless to introduce. |
