I'm bringing this to discussiong because I believe its a worthy cause and because there are only 13 approvals.
Clean the World:
Description: Problem: The automobile idustry, mining and lumber industry produce thousands of tons of waste annually by using wasteful methods. This waste is then dumped into the environment.
Solution: Enforce environmental laws in each nation that require factories, mines and lumber yards to either recycle wastes, reuse them or sell them off to another company that will have use for them. For instance, any scrap metal that would normally be thrown away by manufacturing plants can be instead be recycled to become soda cans or can be sold off to another manufacturing plant that needs extra metal to create something else.
So if you agree, go look for it in the resolutions and vote.

Um....wha?
Resolution #13: Mandatory Recycling
Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: All Businesses
Be it hereby resolved that all paper, glass, aluminum and batteries be recycled by all UN member states.
Implemented: Thu May 8 2003
Resolution #34: Oceanic Waste Dumping
Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: All Businesses
Simply put, we ask that all oceanic dumping of toxic wastes in both territorial and international waters be banned.
Sovereignty arguments over territorial water rights are irrelevant because there is no way to prevent toxic waste dumped in one region from contaminating waters in neighbouring nations.
Implemented: Thu Oct 30 2003
Resolution #35: Stop Dumping - Start Cleaning
Category: Environmental
Industry Affected: All Businesses
Our nations have gotten far 'out-of-hand.' Should it be illegal to dump toxic wastes? Yes! And there needs to be a more stiff punishment. We need to not only make it illegal to dump wastes into our streams, oceans, and city water removal systems; but we need to start non-profit, donation only organizations to start cleaning up what we have already destroyed! These organizations couldn’t harm our economies any, they are donation only; therefore they also won’t cause a tax raise. We can’t afford to not do this!
I hereby propose that we; UN members:
1.) Make it illegal, where not already, to dump wastes of any sort into public water systems. i.e.: Rivers, streams, oceans, ponds, city water removal systems, etc.
2.) Require business to “filter” all liquid wastes.
3.) Breaking the 'Dumping' law requires either 5 to 7 years in a federal prison, fine up to $10,000 or 100 to 500 hours of community service. Governments court system's decision.
4.) The immediate government authorization to start a minimum of 3 non-profit, donation only 'cleaning' and 'citing' organizations per town or city. They will be authorized to distribute citations for dumping and use community service workers to clean up after ‘dumpers.’
Implemented: Tue Nov 4 2003
Can you tell me how your resolution is seperate than the combined power of all 3 of these resolutions?

Again a reason not to add another resolution to the 3 already existing ones. IMO A UNCoESB styled resolution for waste should be developed to improove efficiency and to let one single resolution do better than the the current three do.

Might want to suggest that to Jusma Kallilae (or however its spelt), he's been trying to replace 13 for the last month. He might be interested in seeing a general resolution that encompasses all 3.
BTW, what's with you following me this evening?
