Issues

Freshwater - Everyone on this plant needs it yet we can not create water. so we must work on keeping the water clean and working on ways to clean polluted water. Washington state is on the cost so even if they are not drinking the water it effects them ever day so it must be made a top priority.

Animal rights - In my opion we need to stop animal testing it is crual to the animal. Then with the animals that are kept by corruptions for food products need to be treated with more respect. i understand that not all people are willing to be vegatarins and be kind to all animals there is a line where it becomes cruelty.

Women's education in developing countries - All human rights groups agree that all people deserve an education but women face so many more problems about going to school then men do and research has proved how important it is for women to be educated. When women are educated they are more likely to have smaller family's when women are education it starts bring the next generations out of poverty.

Forest conservation - We are using up one of are most important natural resources without a second thought we are just thinking the trees will grow back but it's not simple many of the great forests of north america have been cleared and this earth cannot afford to lose more trees. Washington has many great forests but if we do not take care of them we could lose them. when forests are cut down we lose more then just beauty entire ecosystems are destroyed with that species can go extinct also trees produce oxgen which we all need.

My bill – Pollution in the ocean.

My bill is about protecting the oceans and beaches around theUnited States. In our bill we will increases fines on all cruise ships, corporations, and people who litter. The fines will depend on if they have been charged before, how severely they littered, what they littered. There are fines in place but they are not severe enough. We need to protect this precious habitat for generations to come. It is also not only good for the environment it is also good for the economy. When towns on the coast become polluted people stop going there hurting there local economy. It also helps with are health pollution can cause several different things that harm your health. When the oceans get polluted the fish eat the garbage and they become ill then they are fished and eaten causing the people who ate it to become ill. When you vote for are bill you are helping yourself, other people, the economy, the environment, and future generations to come.
