RE: Germany's coronavirus recovery plan should help build climate-neutral economy
Hi,@ vlemon!
We definitely have to see the other side of the coin of what is happening, I am sure that pollution has greatly decreased worldwide. In fact, I am living in my country's capital and for the first time I can hear the birds singing in the morning and not feel the smog that is usually everywhere.
I wonder if it is coincidental that they are interested in the green trend and digital transformation. Maybe the climate crisis won't go away with the coronavirus but it sure has slowed down a lot.
We may have trouble breathing, but it is certain that our planet is breathing a little better at the moment.
Thanks for sharing :D
Hello @jadams2k18,
I definitely agree with you and have seen the same thing happening to my big city.
The issue is with economic downturn, especially this one, oil becomes very cheap and might destroy renewable projects that would have been making money at 40$ per oil barrel but is now not so profitable at $20 per barrel.
It is still very nice to hear these little birds but the medium/long term effects might be bad for this new economy. Nevertheless, it will help people realize how quite and beautiful our cities can be and maybe push them to ask for a change. In the end, people decide what happens in this world through elections :).
Best,
@vlemon
