Environmental Friendly Business Agreement (EFBA)
Strength: mild

Businesses in U.N member-states are extremely important in ensuring that U.N member states maintain a flourishing economy within their sovereign borders. Businesses thus sometimes create ’emissions’ from whatever field of business they partake in should it be Uranium Mining, Wood Chipping, Auto-production or other fields of business that can cause ’damage’ to U.N member states environment. Thusly a solution needs to be created to ensure a balance between U.N member-states economies and ensuring ’emissions’ don’t badly damage their national environments.

This resolution thus urges the formation of a Environmental Friendly Business Agreement be assigned by U.N member-states and individual businesses that are either small or national ’corporations’ signing on to such an agreement to maintain economic success and protecting their environment.

The Environment Friendly Business Agreement notes the following;

Confirms that U.N member states and individual businesses within U.N member-states can sign onto the (EFBA). Businesses that sign on to the agreement on their individual accord can still follow the guidelines without having the U.N member nation they reside in agreeing to the agreement themselves.

Acknowledges the request set out by the U.N proposal “Climate Refugee Commission” that asks for U.N member states to “do their utmost to lessen and prevent adverse human impacts on the climate” and believes that by signing onto the (EFBA) that would ensure that U.N member states economies are not effected by protecting the environment and climate of our world.

Recommends that U.N member states lifts all ‘tariffs’ and ‘hurdles’ to allow the free travel of information and research between U.N member states and other U.N member states, and between U.N member states and businesses.

Recommends that U.N member-states create a tax-credit to use on individual small-businesses and large businesses that agree to the (EFBA) to ensure that these businesses receive benefits for signing onto the (EFBA)

Urges the creation of a Committee called the Environmental Friendly Business and Nation Committee or (EFBNC) for short that would accomplish the two following objectives.

Maintain a list of U.N member-states and businesses that sign onto the (EFBA) and ensure that they try to decrease ’emissions’ in economically beneficial ways.

And create a list of standards that U.N member-states and individual businesses can view as a quasi-report card to see how they are improving the protection of the environment while maintaining economic success.

The report card/ standards would follow as such;

Score:

1-4; Failing in maintaining their objectives of trying to cut down on emissions that are released from businesses that ’harm’ the environment and climate. Thusly, the nation or business needs to improve on its economic and environmental goals and procedures to achieve those goals.

5-8; Maintaining a decent balance between economic success and reduction of ’emissions’ that effect the environment.

9-12; Has successful struck a balance between maintain a successful business platform in the industry while cutting harmful emissions to a rate that will protect the environment and climate from disastrous events.

The climate-refugee thing hasn't even passed yet, and you're already citing it?

Tell me something...

Will this be more global warming crap, or are you going to address polutants like a responsible resolution would?

To Cluichstan; I am assuming it is going to pass I do not know, I can still cite it as a proposal.

To Seabear70, no it is not associated with global warming. This resolution targets emissions that are released into the atmosphere that causes damage like acid rain and other calamities to the environment and may change the environment. Not global warming.

I respectfully cry "BS!!" in the forum.

You are refering to a bill that is yet more global warming crap, fail to fully define the polutants in any meaningful way, and yet you claim this has nothing to do with global warming?

Are you stupid, or are you hoping we are?

The only part of the resolution or proposal that is important to my resolution is to ensure that U.N member-states move about to protect the environment, th exact quote is;

do their utmost to lessen and prevent adverse human impacts on the climate

and that is directly linked to emissions not global warming which can result in acid rain and other systems that damage the environment in a disasterous way. The idea of human impact on such things as creating Hurricanes, Tornados, and other effects is not in this resolution.

No offence to the delegate but in it's current form this proposal seems somewhat vague and toothless, I concur that there needs to be greater definition of "emissions". Also there seems to be little benefit or detriment as to being a member or not, from what I could gather you simply recieve a pat on the head for being environmentally friendly. Whilst i can easily see this proposal being passed I fail to see it having much of a practical effect in it's current format.

Is this what the U.N. is going to turn into? One B.S. environmental bill after another?

Because this is nothing but a bunch of useless crap where people demonstrate their ignorance.

First of all, your second point is idiotic. Second of all, I truly hope, but am beginning to doubt, that the other members are not dumb enough to fall for that line of foamig atthe mouth diharea.

Second of all, how excatly do you think you are going to protect the environment, something you obviously know nothing about.

Give us one original though, please.

The principle is good, and is to be commended, even if this proposal does not actually mandate anything.

1-4; Failing in maintaining their objectives of trying to cut down on emissions that are released from businesses that ’harm’ the environment and climate. Thusly, the nation or business needs to improve on its economic and environmental goals and procedures to achieve those goals.

THe principle of the resolution hinges upon this section...

Without defining these emissions, the whole thing becomes an asenine wasting newage love in based upon opinion rather than law or science.

Based upon this, a nation could fail because of a coffee brewery near the office of the investigators because one member of the commission did not like the smell of coffee, and felt that it created a bad environment.

(OOC, believe it or not, something just like this has already happened)

IC: For that matter, it sets up a precedent where even the noble Armenian Trouser Trout could in the future be condemned for it's flatuence.

All of this because the resolution is far too vague, and far to open to subjective interpretation.

If the delegate wishes to deal with environmental issues, I suggest he deals with something that is not sexy, but has real impact like sanitation in third world countries.

Rather than ask other people to do things, why don't you do it yourself? Write a proposal, submit it, and we'll support it. If you're not willing to write it yourself, don't expect others to.

Make yourself useful.

Very well, I will.

Global warming will have no part of it, I actually care about the environment.

Dearest Seabear,

Please quit ranting and raving like a lunatic and ease back on the breathless hyperbole. We've all figured out your personal stance on global warming, there's no need to beat us over the head with it any more.

Please quit confusing this forum with the General forum. Insanity goes there, not here.

Thank you for your kind consideration, and I look forward to posts that are a little less... over the top.

Love,

Dear Hack,

Considering the insanity vested in the global warming bills, I would question it's placement as well.
