View our bill here: http://mockcongress2011.wikispaces.com/SB36 -This bill requires all car owners to own a car with a gas mileage of 40 MPG or higher or a hybrid. If the car owner refuses or does not turn in their car, they will be taxed based off of the gas mileage that they have. This will decrease pollution. You should vote for this bill because it will make everyone a lot healthier and make America a lot less polluted. __**Five Facts**__ 1) Delaware was the first state to ratify the Constitution. 2)Delaware is the second smallest state. 3) Delaware is the only state without a national park. 4)The density is 401 people per square mile. 5) The state motto is liberty and independence because of its strong past. __**Five facts about my state that relate to pollution**__ 1) One quarter of the state is covered in forest. This is decreasing. 2)Deredging is extreamly common 3)Heavy metal and pestisides are used a lot which harm animals and the environment. 4) Delaware is where the Chesapeak Bay is located which flows into the Atlantic Ocean. 5)Since Delaware is a bay state it works together with other bay states to reduce pollution

1) Pollution is very important to me. I think that we need to find different ways to create energy in order to reduce pollution. This will also help protect the ozone. 2) Education is really importat to me as well. I think that every community and every child should have the equal chance to a good education. I think that we need to work to help kids with less opurtunities get a good education so they get more opurtunities envolving jobs. 3) Jobs are very important to me as well. I think that by helping increase small jobs and companies and imporving state ecomomy, we can improve the national ecomomy as well.
