Ecological transition: Tondelier (EELV) wants to "stop putting pressure" on people

The national secretary of Europe Ecology-The Greens, Marine Tondelier, called on Wednesday not to "put pressure on people" but to "make a big structural effort", which is "the responsibility of the State", to prevent global warming.

"You have to stop putting pressure on people by saying what did you eat for lunch? , where did you go to work? and what was the engine in your car? , especially when people don't 'can't afford to buy another one,' said the environmentalist manager on franceinfo, while recalling that "the time is serious".

Indeed, she detailed, the carbon consumption of public services by French people alone already represents the maximum of what a person can consume to maintain a habitable planet, according to estimates by the transition agency. ecological (Ademe).

"There is really a big structural effort to be made in this country and that, there is a responsibility of the State", she continued. "People need to be aware of that, but it's not because of the guy's pool, which is going to be hot this summer."

Recalling that the phenomenon of global warming "is accelerating", she urged individuals not to see ecology as a "constraint". "The worst constraints will be those that we will undergo whatever we do", she warned, specifying that "the children who are born this year, in 2023, we do not know today how to guarantee them that the planet will still be habitable in their 30th year."

The regional elected official of Hauts-de-France also described "a somewhat dizzying moment for people who have been carrying ecology for a long time" and could be "qualified as conspirators, mocked, jeered", to see the government arrive "today at the same conclusions as us, that is to say that somewhere it is already a little too late".

“Having the right report is not enough”, however warned Marine Tondelier, worried about the “at the same time” of Emmanuel Macron who announces measures for ecological transition and calls for a break in European regulations in the matter.
