The Bill:
Delegates: Vaughn Simmons, Quitze Eguigure, Rehana Hirji
Title: The act to abolish littering.
Preamble: The purpose of our bill is to have congress institute funding and programs that help decrease littering.
Definitions:
Littering- the act of throwing your discards on the streets or in an open public place.
Institute – apply, set in motion or establish
Content:
Decrease the amount of littering by informing the country the affects littering has on its environment
Litter is a huge part of global warming and this bill will help enforce a cleaner environment by changing one’s habits of littering.
Community service day - which entails cleaning our streets, parks, public places by picking up litter and placing the trash in the appropriate recycling bins/trash bins.
Funding:
Through fines, our bill will be funded
Tax payers - local taxes
How much is this going to cost? According to our research, a total of $5 billion is spent on ozone depletion. Within that cost, we estimate $100 million will fund our bill.
Enforcement:
Street patrollers would watch people littering and then give them a ticket.
If caught—day of community service
Day of community once/month service where everyone picks up litter
Effective Date:

I Think companies that create and sell bio-degradable products should be given a tax break by the government but non-participating companies will still pay their regular taxes.
