Hi Donethal!

First, I’d like to say that I am please by your green tech


policy. However, there are a couple things I foresee issues with.

It seems to me like the terms in which you described the types of


crops you’d be farming; the nation seems to be headed towards
monocultural farming. This suppresses diversity in the ecosystem
which affects the land, ability to continue to harvest crops among other
issues. I don’t believe have been fully thought through (Watts,2018).
Including permaculture practices into the current policy could be
extremely beneficial.

As for the drones, I believe they are necessary. Drones aren’t


environmentally friendly when it comes to manufacturing. Drones are
made in factories and require an aluminum battery among other
harmful materials to be created which defeats the purpose of going
green. Also, by implementing a permaculture practice into the Current
policy in regard to farming crops, the insect population would
decrease in species, and bring it in a better variety of helpful insects.

I would also like to ask if you guys have considered how you plan to
dispose of drones once they have reached the end of their lifespan.
Drones are evasive, they can be hacked, and there are other more
cost/green effective ways to protect crops from insects and pesticides.
It’s important to think about what happens to them after they have
served their purpose, in order to ensure the nations takes its social
responsibility due to climate change seriously. There has not been too
much thought into the negative externalities that come with getting rid
of drones.
