You work for the State of New Jersey, and you've been assigned to support a proposed piece of legislation. Under the legislation, all automobiles sold in the State of New Jersey must meet strict greenhouse gas emissions standards--standards that experts believe will limit the harmful impact to the ozone layer. However, this proposed piece of legislation would increase the average cost of a new vehicle by $3,000, and would require all vehicle owners to purchase and have installed an emisssions kit that would cost a one-time expense of $5,000.

Answer the following in at least 250 words:

1 - What are your personal opinions of this proposal? Is it worth the increased expense to ensure environmental protection?

2 - Assume you believe in the proposal. How would you present the proposal to someone who might be skeptical of the increased cost? How would you convince them the proposal is a good idea?
