All right, so since I want to see a different topic out there...this one's from February's Lincoln-Douglas topic:
Resolved: A government's obligation to protect the environment ought to take precedence over its obligation to promote economic development. I'm on the negative side for this, seeing that only by providing a healthy, stable economy can you be able to help the environment. The products of a good economy are what help improve the environment. Haha don't worry...I have more points...I've researched both sides to this, so bring it on. ![]() |

QUOTE See I'm mainly for the economy simply because you need money to help the envrionment in the first place. On the other hand, the environment can't help the economy. Also, I remember when I researched this topic that our natural resources aren't running as low as you think they are. If I find an example or fact, I'll get back to you on that. Well... i just did policy debate last week.. one of our evidence cards said that invasive species brought in by ballast water (the case we ran), costs our government $138 billion at year to clean up, so if that isnt a reason to protect the environment and pass regulations, i dont know what is |
