Check out this issue. I hate having to dismiss issues, as I think that that is a wuss-out on giving an answer, but this one, despite the four options, was all terrible:
After claims of two-headed badgers being seen near the numerous landfills of Moshington DC, there have been calls for the government to act.
The Debate
1. "Look at that thing!" wails famous environmentalist Stephanie Hanover, pointing at one of Moshington DC's largest dumps. "It's an eyesore, a pollutant, and a damn disgrace! What we need to do is get everyone recycling their waste! What we have left we can shoot into space in specially-made space shuttles and we'll never have to think about it again! Sure it'll be expensive, but considering the benefits to the great outdoors, I think we should consider it."
[Accept]
2. "Ah, the expense!" moans Fleur Utopia, government economist. "Do you have any idea what that would cost?! A much better way of dealing with this waste is to burn it and use the energy it produces to power Moshington DC's big cities. There may be a few side-effects on the environment, but with all the cheap power coming in who would care?"
[Accept]
3. "Oh come now," says Buffy Summers, a nearby suburbanite. "There's no need to bring all the pollution into the cities! These dumps can get a whole lot bigger you know. Just keep piling the rubbish on and we can use them as tourist attractions or something. People will flock to see how high they can climb our artificial mountains! If we run out of space, just knock down a few forests. No one will notice."
[Accept]
4. "You're all missing the real solution," argues Max Longfellow, president of the 'Moshington DC First!' society. "Why should we bother building landfills at all? I'm sure that there are plenty of less-fortunate countries out there who would be more than happy to take our litter in return for some cash."
[Accept]
