=== Environmental issues === | |||
Despite Alexandria's commitment to urban-nature mixing, it lags behind Veneza and Verona in terms of environmental commitments. The state's industrial nature combined with its image as a workhorse of Cartadania has caused many officials to turn the other way in terms of environmental issues. Though Alahuela set the standard for environmental impact through the entirety of the union, the states have the ability to build on the laws set forth by Congress. At present, Alexandria uses the basic form established, with minor adjustments for SB 270. Nonetheless, despite the lag, Alexandria is still a post-industrial economy, with a very high standard of living. Thusly, issues pertaining to the greenhouse effect caused by carbon emissions and industrial dumping have always been top priorities for the Alexandria Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ). | |||
