The key to environmentalism, to the green wave that is sweeping Europe and now reaching Spain, is precisely to anchor great values to the little things of everyday life and, furthermore, to do so from a kind of militant claim of what is considered naivety. : the objective of politics must be a good life, providing the conditions for happiness to be a pursueable and accessible objective. These ideas seem less striking than the noise that occupies our public sphere on a daily basis, but they are the most important, the ones that decide whether we are well or not, the ones that can mark the 21st century.
Earth and climate, weather, health. A great green wave is needed to take Finland Email List of the things that really matter, to drag politics back to take over everyday life. A force of the small, of the little ones, for really big things. The pandemic showed what we had enough of and what we lacked too much; made it clear to each and every one of us, in the long journeys with ourselves, what things were worth more in our life and what less. And to all of us, I dare say, he gave us similar answers: to have physical and mental health, to have the means of existence covered to sleep at night, to have time, to have the warmth of our loved ones, to live in a healthy environment, to have time to cultivate our passions or take care of our own.
What happens is that a sharp question then emerges: if these are the things that really matter, why with all our complexity we are not able to ensure them? Who satisfies the current model, which produces so much pain, What threatens the planet and what makes us so weak in the face of the unforeseen? Fortunately, along with this pointed question, another more promising one emerges: if we have been able to mobilize resources and energies to confine ourselves, to reorganize life and to research, discover, produce and administer the vaccine..., can we not be so.
