It’s a great point that investing for example ten euros today will prevent likely 100 euros of damage to our towns, agriculture, and nature in 30 to 50 years. It’s a good investment to head off severe climate change that is already showing up in events like 121 degrees Fahrenheit in even coastal Canada!

Ever here of planting a tree or two, the amount of land used all over the world for nothing, where trees could grow, should be covered with trees. Wood its 100% recyclable 100% sustainable and if properly treated can be burnt 100% carbon neutrally and most importantly removes carbon from the air while growing and doesn't require energy to do it. Is there something wrong with us its simple and cheap. Could be thousands of jobs created here with a proper forestry industry. But no lets stick a Euro on a bail of briquets, that will pay off our emotions.
