TWI Only Environmental Committee

[Verdon]

"So do you have any proposals of how exactly to regulate them? Proposals with no loop-holes? I see what you want to regulate but the question is how? We'd need reports of how these elements impact the environment and the consequences that come with them."

"There evidence of impact is all around. A simple internet search could tell you the ill effects of these chemicals. The way to regulate these things is with numbers. Real limits on the concentration of adverse chemicals that are part of the outflow of factories and businesses, and fines for those businesses which are in non-attainment with the regulations."

Noting Elisabeth's comment, "A single CFC or HCFC molecule can destroy close to 100,000 ozone molecules over it's lifetime and persist in the atmosphere for thousands of years."

[Verdon]

"Aye"

"We would be willing to pen the proposal for regulation, given enough time."

OOC: I also need to figure out where my environmental law textbook went...

[Stoizzle]

OOC: Ok sounds good Verdon.

"That looks like a good majority hehe. Dashgrinaar is now a part of the environmental committee."


He pauses.

"Next up for candidacy... Immur!"
Name of Nation: The Fascist Confederacy of Immur.
Type of Economy: Laissez-faire
Goals of Nation: Join the EC, Beat New Aapelistan, Help preserve the natives and fields of the Kavju Islands
Nation's Politics: Fascism.
Why should you nation be allowed into the committee?: Because in my current war against New Aapelistan, I plan on defeating him as he is using the land to grow wheat, rather then preserve the soil and grass that was once there. I am there to keep the fields and such there.

Same voting goes.

[Stoizzle]

"In the mean time while still waiting on votes to see if Immur is accepted or not, here are the 4 regions. If you wish to be a delegate, please send me a telegram. In the Northwest we have: Stoizzle, Dibeg, PPU, Vancouvia, Tuernia, and Dashgrinnar. In the Northeast we have: Dutchland and Verdon. In the Southwest it holds Kamieniec, Dansawae, and Alantania. Finally, the southeast holds only Linaviar. Please privately telegram your fellow region members of the committee and discuss who you'd like to be the representative. Linaviar is automatically the representative of his region until any new nations from that area join. Budgets for global projects shall be discussed within your own region and how much each nation is willing to spend. Thank you."

[Kamieniec Podolski]

"Nay."

OOC, I'll be gone for a while. Don't kick me out, I will be back.

[Alantania]

" I'd like to add that my nation taxes privately owned buildings on their use of clean energy and the amount of water the buildings restrict or displace from reaching the ground."

[Stoizzle]

" I'd like to add that my nation taxes privately owned buildings on their use of clean energy and the amount of water the buildings restrict or displace from reaching the ground."

"You tax clean energy?"

[Stoizzle]

Everyone, Immur's application will not be further processed because if I am reading this correctly, he is making a new account.

[Alantania]

" I'd like to add that my nation taxes privately owned buildings on their use of clean energy and the amount of water the buildings restrict or displace from reaching the ground."

"You tax clean energy?"

"No, my words of choice were not the best let me rephrase, we tax them on lack of clean energy."
