Korean Response via Washington

• Economy has a good effect in our country. The
  government use money toimprove the environment.
  They plan to make a place to build
  theincinerator for garbage. In that way, we will
  have more land to live. Itdoes solve the problem
  of to much garbage. Also, they use money to
  solveto pollution of rivers. In fact, our
  government helped the river inKaohsiung revive.

Brazils Response

• The industries have mostly bad effects on the
  environment, because the industries pollute the
  air and don't obey the law, and justice doesnt
  obligate these industries to pay a fine. And they
  are deforesting the Amazon Forest to make
  agriculture and cattle raising.

Germanys Response

• I think, the Industry is always dirty but how
  do you want to make chemical products or
  something like that without pollution? Thats
  nearly impossible I think, but what shall we do?
  We need these products and maybe without them we
  would live like in the stone age. When I see
  pictures of the Industry in other countries I
  think that our Industry is assimilable clean. We
  hope that solar-energy will make Industry more
  clean

What the US Should Do
