| Message | No on all points. You've stated that State industries should look into reducing the amount of pollution produced by cars, yet allow the production and purchase of any type of engine. Current technology allows for the production of pollution free vehicles operating on hydrogen and producing water. That is current technology, so why increase the pollution risk by introducing increased pollution risks by selling fossil fueled vehicles? Why change the law on pollution controls? If the State owned industries are already operating with moderate pollution controls, why change the law regulating that? All we are doing is allowing those industries to increase the harm they cause to the Hobrazian atmosphere with no operational advantage. If we're going to operate these industries then we should expect them to operate with the highest standards, no? As for recyvling, we see no reason to change this. We have all the equipment already set up to recycle waste from both industry and residential but removing the mandatory position will merely have the effect of people not bothering to recycle as "it takes time and effort". All these changes would have a negative effect on this Country in every way from economical production values, through to public health. We cannot support any of these articles and call upon all other Parties to vote against also in order to protect and maintain the highest standards that this Country is renowned for. |
