At the moment, there is much talking on the political level about Environment; many politicians now seem to understand that our little planet is in danger. But little is really done by the responsible politicians to reduce this danger.
There are many aspects concerning the danger to the environment; I will just talk of two of them:
First, the CO2 output made by cars. In the Rich Countries, almost everybody drives a car, and many people want their car to be big and speedy, which means it uses much fuel and blows much CO2 into the atmosphere.
Is that necessary? Can the industry not build cars that use little fuel and exhaust little CO2? Of course it can, and some car factories already do. Yet, not many people buy them.
Here, the politicians should act: Make laws that force the industry to build only such kind of cars, and force people to drive moderately.
Second, the Methane gas exhaust of animals, especially cattle. How ricidulous! Have animals not always lived and exhausted methan? Yes. But nowadays, in the rich countries people eat meat in exceeding quantities, which means breeding exceding lots of cattle.
Is that necessary? Everybody knows that it would be much healthier to eat less meat. And now I do not even talk about the terrible effect it has on the food supply in the Developing Countries when cattle food for the Rich Countries is grown instead of food crops for the local population.
Here, the politicians should act: cattle breeding for the richt countries should be reduced.
Politicians should stop talking and start acting!
