SB6

=SB6-- Major Businesses Going Green Bill =

Sarah Droder- Democrat, Wisconsin
**Purpose:** We want to increase awareness for the environment by adding environmentally friendly aspects to major government buildings and worldwide business associations. We also want to create a new law that makes all newly-built buidings to have a specific code that they must follow. This code will state that all newly constructed buildings must have //**__at least one__**// solar panel or environmentally friendly aspect to them; ultimately creating a better environment for all.


 * Is It A Priority?:** It is a priority because government buildings and major businesses are wanting to save money, especially in this economy. By adding these "green" features, it will reduce pollution, decrease electricity bill amounts, and increase awareness for environmentally-safe aspects for major buildings.


 * How Can The Government Do Anything About It?:** The government can support funding for "green" features for these buildings.


 * What is the Government Already Doing?:** The White House currently has a large garden and also will install several solar panels to power a very small percentage of the electricity that they need.


 * Is Your Plan Constitutional?:** Yes, our plan is Constitutional because the Constitution does not have a section dealing with the environment or environmental protection. All of the laws thus far created also dealing with solar panels are also very agreeable with the Constitution.


 * Would This Be Better Handled by a State or Local Government? Or Businesses? Or The American People?:** No, because the National Government needs to fund it before such a large-scale project can be taken on by much smaller Government Branches and Businesses.


 * Who Will Be Affected (Also Called Eligibility?):** All Citizens of the United States will be affected; less pollution means a much better, more comfortable living environment for all. Also, many major buildings will be affected, including: major hospitals and government-related buildings.

1. Gather All Materials Needed to Cover Buildings With Solar Panels: (solar panel cells, cables, mounting devices, tools, and any safety equipment that may be required) Times (approx.) 1000 (Amount Of Buildings) total for this time.
 * Terms And Benefits--How Our Bill Is Going To Work?:**

2. Attain all laborers to install the panels and transport materials, renting them both "MACK" trucks and "U-HAUL" trucks to transport and install the materials properly.

3. Attain all managers, lawyers, and extended resources needed to complete our bill. Extended resources (at this point) include industrial ladders.

4. Have all laborers install solar panels on buildings and new buildings.


 * Fiscal Impact--Approximately, How Much Will Our Bill Cost?:**

As of this point in time, we are expecting the cost of our bill to reach no more than the amount in bold below. We arrived at this amount because we will need: A total of $10,000,150,000 for ALL solar panel cells needed for one year, A total of $11,200 for all marketing tactics, A total of $150,000 will be needed for educating the laborers to install the cells. This is the approximate cost for 25 educated engineer professors to teach. The laborers will be put through a sophisticated program with these educators to teach them how to transport, install, and use the panels. This program cost is included in the amount above. Companies wishing to participate in the program will agree to pay for all installation and maintenance costs for the panels to be installed.

We personally know that our bill does cost a lot of money. We recognize that, but also realize that a VERY SMALL fraction of that amount will come from the government and funding, causing the exact same amount of taxes for citezens. There are several environment programs in effect already that will pay for this- Department of the Interior, Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of State. Also recognize that in 2009, ALL OF THE ABOVE LISTED ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS EXCEPT FOR ONE WERE AT MUCH HIGHER AMOUNTS THAN THIS. For example, in 2009, the Department of Health and Human Services annual final amount was at 78,540,000,000. Therefore, we know that the programs are capable of handling the cost of our proposed bill.

Our bill is very mandatory and important for our current nation. With all of today's technology, we have the ability to create a better environment for our world. This bill will make a large difference in our society, create a better living environment, reduce pollution, and highly reduce the 250 million metric ton pollution rate that the United States alone currently produces. Can other Environment bills say that? Can other Environment bills make such a difference that ours will, for a better price than what we have proposed? This is what makes the "Major Businesses Going Green" Bill so unique.
