Global Warming

            We want a clean and safe environment to live in with healthy conditions and less pollution.  There should be firmer regulations for factories and transportation emissions in order to cut back on the amount of pollution being released into the air.  More public transportation should also become available to reduce pollution.  We also believe that testing of the air and amount of pollution present should be required by states and cities.

Water Pollution

          We want clean, bacteria-free water to drink and swim in.  We recommend mandatory testing of all waters for bacteria and other pollutants.  Those waters that test positive should be required to close the water from the public and immediately resolve the problem.  We also recommend stricter laws against those who pollute the waters.

Roads

            We want safe, pothole-free roads to drive on.  We need to begin fixing roads when potholes and other problems are first noted rather than waiting until the road get to be in extremely poor condition.  We need to use less of the “throw and go” method in which potholes are simply filled, and begin cutting out sections of the road that need repair and replacing it with new slabs of concrete.  The weight limit for semi-trucks should be lowered to avoid damage to roads and we need more efficient use of the budget set for road repairs.  Rather than paying 8 or so different construction workers to fix the same couple potholes, they should be separated to get more work done in a shorter period of time.
