espect! You wait too much! Even though I remain in my criticism that the winning point of the strike is that you have manifested during school time, your action yesterday shows that for you the environment is an important issue.
Unfortunately, ecology and economics fit together like luck and sulfur! If we are doing so well today economically, like no previous generation, it also means that we produce as much dirt as never before. My Grandma – for you: the great-grandmother didn’t go on vacation once, my generation does it twice a year on average; if i point out that you are the generation that can take the plane for 35 euros, for Madrid, london etc, then it does not mean that we, the elderly, do not do that too, but, you are already at a young age and the society of abundance catapulted – incidentally by us – which makes a big difference. The question is: are you, are we prepared to relinquish it ?! Quite honestly: I have my doubts!
You are just as shocked by the pictures as plastic tonnes float around me. However, the plastic does not come from the same; it is produced by humans and transported there by one way or another. So, it is not to cover the plastic, but we have to take our own nose! And that we use new tonnes of paper bags is not so environmentally friendly either: there is still consumption, so economics that must be destroyed must be recycled = ecology. Nothing has to change about our consumer habits, just that we think we could have a better conscience. Really?
.No matter! You put in a nice signal yesterday and put some pressure on the policy. You address it to the parties in general, but rather to those who are powerless. The pressure is on the green because they were the ones who have done a lot of Remmidemmi around the environment for the last 30 years and have been in the government for over 5 years, with the possibility of turning their theoretical considerations into practice. But even now they see that this is not so easy. Example: tank tourism! A house of 2 cents a liter of diesel is, after all, rather laughable; We do not want to refrain from coming to our country with us. Our price on the pump has to be adapted to that in France! A harsh punishment, especially for those who are now having a hard time getting financially through the rounds, as the gilets showed up – at least at the beginning of their movement -. Example: car tax. A thick caravan should be taxed really high so that the less can be bought and also driven. A good idea? We would, in the main, punish those who could only afford an SUV with a lot of bangs and pains; that remained with the thick wallet. So somehow good for the environment, but a decent thing in the social field.

hen we order on the internet – so me and your generation – then we are aware of two things: a lot of cardboard is being used and many people working for the digital sector are being exploited socially. They are paid handsomely, often do not have a collective bargaining agreement, have to work overtime without being paid, and whoever comes up with the idea of doing so will be fired immediately. The same goes for cheap air companies, where in the last few months there have been a lot of strikes. We’re well aware of this, but it’s too much to waste on all that, right?
Yesterday you hit something on the button where there would be damage if you stayed at that one-shot …
