ENVIRONMENT
Today the environmental problems touched off a serious
argument and we can't simply laugh them off but have to
turn up a way to a solution to choke off the debate.
The most serious problem that resulted in many damag
es is that of air and water pollution. That state of things
can be set down to many reasons: many cases when the
authorities cut back on the budget, the impossibility to
sell them on a solution or play on their sense of citizen
ship. The unwillingness to ease off on the tax-policy, the
lack of sponsors to put up money, the crossing many
people off the list of potential ones. The lack of power
to face down the enterprises-polluters, the impossibility to
carry over the financing due to which many projects fell
through.
