Question

Imagine your state is considering a bill that would allow businesses to build coal and other fossil fuel-based factories on state-owned lands. Greenpeace International publishes an article on its website about the proposed policy. In a well-written paragraph, explain what their position would most likely be on the idea and what actions they might take to get it passed or not passed. (10 points)

Answer 1

I  would say that Greenpeace would be opposed to this plan because it would involve burning coal and other fossil fuels presumably and since doing so contributes to greenhouse gases and exacerbates climate change which is causing an increase in global temperatures and extreme weather conditions like the ones that caused the terrible flooding of Hurricane Katrina for example, then those factors could form part of their argument. Also, I believe they would also promote green industries like ones that used say power from wind turbines and perhaps the use of large lithium recharge-able batteries that are being perfected now as examples of clean energy sources.
