The recent months have shown that it would be so much easier, if we would talk about money instead of sustainable development. When we talk about the use of resources and quality of life, it is as if they would not have financial implications. In reality, many municipalities need to raise their taxes and service costs in future, as the basic resources, such as water and energy, will cost more. By being sustainable, we would get savings that everyone is so much searching for.
Talking about money would also mean that
- Local authorities would all be eager to prioritize the sustainable solutions, as that would mean savings in the long run.
- The decision-makers would see the prize tag on some things that in the end are considered prizeless, such as clean air, water and soil.
- No one would expect the events dealing with sustainable development to be free of charge, instead they would pay without any questions daily fees around 800 EUR.
I have then seriously considered naming the conference in the end - "Financial solutions local, together - maybe then we would all wake up?
