Noosland today announces a bold Environmental Vision for the next 20 years. The following components are included:

5. Electricity will be charged on a sliding scale depedent on members in a household and amount used. Citizens are encouraged to build their own renewable energy generators such as wind turbines. Loans and technical assistance will be made available, and excess amount of electricty can be sold back to the community.

6. All oil burning home appliances and devices are to be replaced by natural gas ones within five years.

7. All ICE cars are to be replaced by fuel cell and electric cars within ten years.

8. Within a year, no motor vehicles other than public transports, ambulances, fire engines, and goods transports are allowed.

Ceroo welcomes Noosland's commitment to help improve the environment.

As a pioneer in using tidal energy, Ceroo beleives that renewable energy is the way forward, and the more countries able to adopt the same stance that do, the better.

With regards to article 10, delegates from Noosland would be more that welcome to visit the Environmental Department in Ceroo, for a tour of coastal facilites and lectures on water purification and coastline preservation. As Ceroo is pretty reliant on the ocean, we have had measures to protect it in place for nearly quater of a century.

Some of the Automobile exporting nations may be a little upset with article 8 however, a potential trade war along with other environmental measures which may harm businesses could be devastating for the Noosland economy...

Regards.

These are indeed high goals, but do you think you will be able to reach all of them with your stated period of time?

This invitation is most welcomed. We shall study from the advanced examples of Ceroo to further help with our initiatives.

On the other hand, we will have a huge demand for public transports such as railroad, buses with electric or fuel cell engines, and so forth.

Our efforts begin to pay off. Once again, our nation is described as "environmentally stunning."

Could a Marijuanian party visit to observe this grand scheme? We have always been very environmentally friendly, but we need to reconcile that with the needs of business without the environment suffering.

[Urban Ranger]

You are welcome to make arrangements through our embassy.

Thankyou kindly, we shall be in contact shortly.
