LaMB - A form of recycling?

On the planet Cerra, the previously posted concept of 'Lamination' is considered to be a form of recycling. Being a desert planet, Cerra must be able to utilize its limited resources as efficiently as possible if it is to sustain its inhabitants over a long period of time.

The Network's official stance on Lamination (the LaMB variant in particular) is strongly to the contrary. As Mr. Charles put it, the concept of LaMBs as a form of correction is 'actually far more cruel and inhumane', as opposed to standard means.

However, though our stance on Lamination is as is, there are other means of using resources efficiently and preservation of environment that can be done.

Mr. Charles has been able to come up with a list of several suggestions on the above mentioned:

1. Ensure that the primary energy source of the planet is renewable, or at least highly sustainable. Heavy resource mining is one quick way to destroy a planet's environment. This can take the form of Solar, or Geothermal energy, depending on the planet's environmental conditions.



2. Utilize efficient waste disposal. Even an advanced society will definitely have some form of waste difficulty, and it will be the government's duty to make sure that it is taken of properly. Recycling recyclable materials must be made into a law all citizens must follow, with appropriate sanctions for violators. As for non-recyclables, an alternative to landfills would be disposal into space, or possibly into a star for total incineration.



3. In connection to above, manufacture products only of recyclable materials. That way, waste is reduced at an increased rate.



4. If there are flora and fauna on the planet, create preserves and ensure that they are untouched. Enforce sanctions for those found to be poaching or destroying wildlife.



5. Viable water sources must be kept safe. Water is not to be wasted, and anyone found guilty of gross negligence regarding this matter is to be sanctioned.



6. As part of a viable alternative to Lamination, simply just utilize the convicted individual for all sorts of labor found in society. If necessary, assign a handler for each one/each group, similar to the Shepherd system introduced with LaMBs.
   
   
7. Make it every citizen's duty to be conscious and responsible of their own environment.

What about us?

(I hope you don't mind, Mr. Charles...)

Please look at this.

This is the third planet from the sun, our very own Earth.
It has been the cradle of mankind since the olden days, and it always be considered the birthplace of man, will it not?

Although I am a robot, I was also produced on this planet.
Though we can measure any attribute of the Earth,
there is no software in the world that can truly portray our planet's beauty.

Currently, there are so many problems and disputes in this world.
However, this is what I believe.
Mankind will be able to solve all of its problems, and will one day reach out to the world of the stars.


Thank you for being so patient with me. ^_^ *bows*
