A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.
Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: All Businesses
Proposed by: Nazi Germany III
Description: The General Assembly,
HORRIFIED at the consequences of leaving toxic waste go unchecked, and that companies are known to dispose of it by dumping it in public infrastructure (e.g. oceans, rivers, sewers, streets),
DEFINES, for the purpose of this resolution, "toxic waste" as an item or item(s) that can cause [any] damage to the enviroment in any way that might significantly affect the ecosystem (ANY ecosystem, be that city life, or nature, etc), which includes but is not limited to: spent nuclear rods, hazardous materials such as leftover coolant fluid, oil, etc,
TERRIFIED of the risk to health, property and the environment that this toxic waste can bring about,
DETERMINED to stop this appalling abuse of our infrastructure, and the damage it causes to the environment* and our people.
*here defined as the predominantly occurring conditions of the land within a nation, including such things as weather patterns, chemical/radiation levels, and flora/fauna. Not taking into account changes caused by human intervention in the past 10 years.
TAKING INTO ACCOUNT the risks harmful toxic waste poses to humanity and the environment,
PROVIDES the following list of specifications that countries must meet:
--Must crack down on all corporations, people, and government branches, within reasonable limitations of cost, for this purpose no less than 1% of the national budget, for polluting the environment with toxic waste,
--Must force all corporations, people, and government branches to immediately halt their pollution of the environment, save where it can be determined by the government that the immediate halt of the polluting activity or industry would cause more damage to the people than the pollution itself does,
--Must [the government] aid research into safely storing the current and future waves of toxic waste, in whatever facility or container adequately contains such waste, by providing funding and contractors,
--Must [the government] aid efforts to clean up the environment at it's present, by switching to more effective means of transportation (e.g. gas to electric), cleaning up environmentally damaging spills of toxic substances immediately, and devise new, safer systems to keep hazardous material in-check.
HEREBY DECLARES that all countries institute this document immediately upon acceptance from the General Assembly, for the greater good of their environment and their population, and that goals be set for a standard of environmental and human cleanliness.
Didn't we deal with this once before? (If it's improved, say so, please, so I can scratch it.)
Has its own thread...
