| Help Prevent Ozone Depletion A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry. Category: Environmental Industry Affected: All Businesses Proposed by: The Black Market HQ Description: For too long humans have been emitting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which effect the ozone that protects us. Most of CFCs come from the industry. If CFCs continue to be emitted we will not have enough ozone to protect us. Ozone protects us, it prevents the majority of UV(Ultra-Violet) rays from reaching our surface. Too many UV rays and you get skin cancer. The Ozone is depleted so much over the south pole and the north pole that almost 100% of UV rays reach the surface. If we don't stop emitting CFCs the 'hole'(area of significantly depleted ozone) will continue to grow until it covers the entire earth. Therefore all businesses must reduce emitions of CFCs by 50% within five years and 90% within thirty years. It is still possible for businesses to work effectively even though they have to reduce the amount of gas they release. If there is a reduction in CFCs, the ozone will stop depleting, there will be a significant reduction in skin cancer and therefore a reduction in medical costs. It will also help endangered animals as animals suffer from the same problem. Basically by reducing CFC emitions we make the world a better place. |

| Though it is a useful proposal, it does appear to have been written by an eight year-old. So Lord Marquez will abstain from such childish notions and unsubstantiated comments. |

| We agree with Starblaydia. While it has the seed of a useful proposal, it was seemingly written by an eight year old. ABSTAIN |

| Oh my, where do we begin? Spelling mistakes, lack of detail, lack of any decent suggestion as to how exactly businesses are to reduce CFC emissions, lack of incentives for them to do so... and more to the point, we all know there's a hole in the RL ozone layer, but is there any proof of a hole in NS-World's ozone layer? Bettia's official opinion... TIS VERILY CRAPPY M'LUD |
