Am I the only one thinking that cop is doing some kind of awkward salute?
Fathers, keep your tanks inside…
It was noisy.
Trucks were too small people needed more
Look i sympathise with the farmers poossibly losing their livelyhoods, but these goals aren’t new, they have been talking about it for years now and finally it became so bad that the EU had to point out to us that our nitrogen levels are among the worst of the entire union to urge us on. And still nothing is happening, no new laws and no government helping farmers who will lose everything if they have to close up shop.
One major thing that already could help is reducing the amount of livestock but we won’t ever do that since it would increase foodprices and especially that of meat and god forbid people pay the actual cost of meat.
Look you can protest, which you should do btw. But it’s not gonna change anything, we produce to much Carbon and this is the sector that is gonna give in easyly, they don’t have the Massive lobbying money not the govermentrment ties. Your are gonna have to change, protest to get subsidies and goverment help for the transition
Imagine my surprise when I got stuck with my car in the middle of that whole parade just trying to go a store. 5 min drive became 40 min hell
And yet we still import meat from eastern Europe and apples from new Zealand… How absurd is that? Like that helps with the carbon output.
So it begins
If our government could actually design a proper clear transition plan that they don’t then walk back and change randomly all the time then there likely wouldn’t be as many strikes and protests, but sadly incompetence reigns supreme instead.
I sympathize with the farmers, but the nitrogen levels are completely out of wack and need to be dealt with.
But my lord there is no suck force
#tuuuuuuut
You’d think that with too much nitrogen products in the agrarian sector, and too little nitrogen in the chemical sector, the latter sector would find a solution to both problems simultaneously.
We export huge amounts of meat. Like 2/3 of all produced beef is exported. So basically we are allowing farmers to pollute here so they can sell meat abroad. We are a very small country and we are polluting it with millions of pigs and cows. I don’t see how any of this is sustainable.
We also eat too much meat. So I think it would be better to eat less meat. Have meat be more expensive. So farmers produce less and have higher profit margins. Win win?
