Describe a law on environmental protection you would like to introduce.

You should say:

and explain why you think this law is needed.

Follow-up question after your talk: Do you think people in your area would support this law? / Would that law be difficult to enforce?

  2. In general, who should pay for the damage companies do to nature?
