Each year, pollution kills 9 million people (Le monde.) The climate emergency is there (Liberation.) The press keeps repeating it, especially to the new French Prime Minister. “We have to act quickly,” acknowledged Elisabeth Borne. However, no immediate action is committed, notes the French daily. We will have to wait for the general policy statement.
In Flanders, it is somewhat the same movement that we observe. The “nitrogen” agreement responsible for regulating soil pollution is subject to a public inquiry. Until then, we wait.
The New York Times wonders: “what if the solution – simple – was to do nothing?” Attractive, and even effective if we apply this to the scale of a garden (doing nothing is more ecological than mowing at all costs, explains the daily newspaper.)
