[option 1] “This could have been avoided!” yells environmentalist @@RANDOMNAME@@, while waving a pine branch around and smelling funny. “Every year the trains get longer and the cargo gets more dangerous! It puts not only children at risk, but innocent animals, too! Ban trains now!”

Trains are banned
[option 2] “Now I may not be the wisest man to live” drones railroad owner @@RANDOMNAME@@. “However, I do the best I can to run this nation’s trains for the betterment of the people.

[effect 2]Rail operators lecture about safety, even as the rivers and streams take on an ominous color.
[option 3] “This just goes to show how inadequate our infrastructure is” says wealthy industrialist @@RANDOMNAME@@.” If there had been more space around the train and more tracks laid out, there shouldn’t be any nature to be polluted.

[effect 3]@@Name@@’s new infrastructure literally leaves the animals out.
[option 4] “There’s no need to go to either extreme says your ever-centrist nephew.

Everybody wins.”
