You probably have heard of the climate agreement and the need for this. That need is there as most animals and plants are going extinct, less oxygen is present and more CO2 and we become slowly poisoned until we suffocate. In addition, the pollution has a very large impact on our well-being and food production.
The Government spends a lot of money on all kinds of issues but does not allow us to criticize the bad outcome of the spending of all that money. After all in surrounding countries the tax burden is often less and business better.
So, for example, to save money our Government has figured out that the Forestry Commission should be independent (ZBO). This resulted in the fact that the Forestry Commission no longer respects the forest (a healthy forest is not neat and can take care of themselves) but has become a production forest. Healthy trees that inhale lots of CO2 and give lots of O2 are cut down because there is money to be earned. They could also be able to earn money with tea houses, forest walks or play and education possibilities. But no they have figured out that the forest needs clearing places and other fallacies.
Do they know that production forests fall prey to diseases and pests and dislodge animals? Where ever man sticks out his hand the natural balance gets off.
In fact, it is environmental crime.
And they are not the only ones. Also the Department of public works, provinces and municipalities have all sorts of fallacies figured out why healthy trees need to be pruned or cut down.
I still hear the Government calling that there are many trees and shrubs to be planted to achieve the environmental objectives and against particulates.
But do you hear any political party now that the trees become everywhere drastically cut down and pruned?
Cannot they think integral? As even at building houses, the construction of ponds or roads trees and shrubs need to be included in the plan to maintain viability (shelter, less heat, less flooding, less wind, space for animals and less crime, more well-being)
