We're Missing the Essence | Dorien Rookmaker. About the Fight With Climate Change
Within the framework of the conference "Global Crisis. Time for the Truth," there was an interview with a politician from the Netherlands, an independent member of the European Parliament, a member of the Committee on Transport and Tourism, Dorien Rookmaker. She expressed her opinion regarding the impact of human activity on the planet, as well as our consumerist attitudes towards its resources.
"At the moment the discussion about the climate is narrowed down to the reduction of CO2 and global warming gases. And I think the problem is much broader than that." - says Dorien.
She noted that the population continues to grow, and the demands that people reveal to the environment and to their lives are also growing. But natural resources are not increasing, they are becoming less and less. Therefore, many aspects need to be taken into account in order to solve global climate and environmental problems.
At the same time, if we leave everything to the discretion of politicians who negotiate and make agreements like the Paris agreement, then there is a danger that everything will be done for show, in absolute isolation from reality. Therefore, if we want changes, the initiative should come from the people themselves, not from governments or official organizations.
Dorien Rookmaker also expressed her opinion on the 8 Foundations of the Creative Society:
"I think that's something we really need in today's society because there's a lot of polarization.
People live in bubbles, and a real exchange of views hardly ever happens anymore. People denounce each other and if the other person’s point of view is not acceptable, does not fit the bill, then it is simply ignored. And with that, you get more and more groups that are diametrically opposed. I am convinced that if you engage in conversation with each other, it will lead to better solutions."
