| Message | Commercial/ Industry being forced i support... better for the economy.. creates jobs/conserves resources. The emphasis on forcing 'residents' is minute i think... that would be more so refering to recycling availability i think (bin in every household etc). There would be no way to enforce for individual residents.. |

| Message | G. neCebant's internal monologue: Hmm, all of the other libertarian parties are for it. Voting against would cost us some goodwill, but it might pay off electorally. . . Decisions, decisions. |

| Message | You aren't anti-environmentalist if you don't support government enforced recycling. Private individuals can be environmentalists, too. And liberty is obviously much more important than trees. |
