Children and adolescents go to the streets for climate protection. That’s good! We’re here, we’re loud, because our future is sealed! The motto is great, but it sounds as if the older generation (s) had also been smooth and nothing at that point. This is only partly because the generation of trees and trees has always made green parties strong, organizations such as Greenpeace have evolved into multi-corporations and in Luxembourg we have the good old ecological movement and many other environmental organizations. Which is right: we gave us a clear conscience, and that was it. This is true for a number of areas. I just want to give an example here and explain it.
“…We have often created the necessary instruments..”
…but they hurried back to the tirang. If we fly by plane, we produce dirt, from the UK at Malle all / return about 400 kilos of CO2. That’s not a big deal, but for about two decades there has been some kind of confessional,
where nobody can offer a rosary, but where one can pay a small financial penalty for their environmentally damaging behavior, let’s say, Luxembourg / Mallorca 20 euros. That doesn’t sound like much, but if 2 million passengers were to do that, in the small Luxembourg we would still receive 40 million euros; It must not be forgotten, too, that many people fly farther and increase the financial penalty accordingly. The money could be used to support environmental compensation, such as planting trees, solar and wind energy, etc.
Of course, one could still call this the “penalty” or, perhaps better, the “equalizer”, but it should be a little offset, because there is the danger that the compensation will fall out significantly higher than the ticket itself on the ‘at least with the cheap air carriers. The main problem now lies in the fact that the system operates only on a voluntary basis, and therefore almost no pig holds on to it. The system is so or so socially inaccurate, but those with the cylinder on the head could still afford it, much like the one with the lobster in the ditch. It should keep these “taxes” so high that even financially disadvantaged people still have the opportunity to fly into the holidays as well.
Currently, Germany uses 8 percent of the passengers in this system. That is far from enough. 6.6 million euros are coming, but there must be more than 10 billion!
Clear! You can continue (fly) as before, but you can also create a bond there. And then you youngsters come into play. You want to put pressure on politics? That is one of many ways. CO2 compensation does have a lot of image problems, but if you do a national project, supported by the entire government, and if you see concrete results, then those are forgotten. Let’s make it happen.
The Greens are in government, with whom they are determined to talk. A similar fee should apply to cruise ships and, of course, to the bare carriage. For the car, too, a serious alcoholic tax must come, but here again by measure and not just for the SUV that you thought of as an enemy image. The government has decided 1-2 cents a liter, which is small, without specifying what will happen to those 2.5 million euros later. In addition, the Greens have always questioned the UNIVERSITY of the national budget!
But, don’t buy the cat in the bag. Let ministers be given all the ciphers needed in this context: statistics of the automobile industry, of the passengers, of the front officers, of the economic condition of our population, etc. And it must be clear that the revenues from such CO2 compensation do not insure somewhere in the state budget, but that the money is also used for the environment.
A good conscience is apt, THE WORLD tweeted on March 30, and also meant it in the positive sense. Now you have the opportunity to do that, you just have to do it. Reassure a good conscience, make happy! You can already take advantage of such tools, you just have to be prepared for it. It’s best not to travel by plane at all, of course, but who’s prepared for that ?!
