The Swiss people make are more worried about the environment than their jobs because of health care or youth violence, a survey shows. asked
To their biggest concern, 38% of the environmental condition of the planet Earth. For 24% it is the fear of unemployment, 22% "uncertainty and youth violence" and 15% worried about the health costs.
This shows a survey, which introduced the Swiss magazine L'Hebdo West on Thursday. The institute MIS Trend surveyed in 1200 to Swiss citizens, which of the four problem areas they are most troubled.
were still worried about the environment interviewed 400 leaders from business, politics and society: 55% of the leaders called the state of the world as the biggest problem.
order to protect the climate, require 58% of those surveyed by the Federal Council to adopt strict regulations. A third would even advocate laws that limit the competitiveness of Switzerland.
are however two thirds of respondents in good spirits that succeed is to halve the energy consumption without reducing the living standards.

Since the image but has changed significantly. Not too long ago, the concern was about the environment quite far back in the barometer. Especially noteworthy that the decision makers in business and politics so clearly äusserm. It must also be a blind man who sees still not the economic potential for conversion to sustainability. Well, here in the forum we have many examples of this displacement of reality - some posters an immediate insight into the twisted world of thought to this reality refugees.
And the shift in thinking is necessary: How "Environment Switzerland 2007" shows, the pressure on the environment is still far too high. The life and consumption habits frustrate progress.
Greenhouse gas emissions - the main cause of climate change - are still too high. Between 1970 and 2005, the average temperature in Switzerland has risen by 1.5 degrees Celsius. The Swiss population has a chronic exposure to ozone and fine particles.
The loss of biodiversity continues unabated. 30 to 60 percent of the 50,000 native plants and animal species are more or less acute danger. The fragmentation of the landscape, the fragmentation of ecosystems and the fragmentation habitat continues.
shrinking glaciers, thawing of permafrost, and changes in rainfall patterns call for a CO2 reduction and adaptation strategies to climate change. It says in the report.
air pollution, noise, chemicals, radiation, extreme weather conditions and provide health represent risk undisputed findings are concerning from air pollution. The reduction of ozone and particulate matter, therefore, the air quality can be further improved.
described as the biggest challenge BFS FOEN and the sustainable use of scarce natural resources. Each year are consumed in Switzerland, about 100 million tonnes. They are 14 tons per inhabitant. Only a quarter of these materials are renewable. The report calls for the development of a coherent resource policies.

It is also not easy, in some ways to keep you informed if the industry still is so much money into the disinformation campaigns.
However, there are strong signs that a new generation of leaders from the rigid belief system "Environment = green = bad" triggers, hires a few simple calculations and the economic potential recognize the change.
Well, it is a habit. And a relatively new, which can also change. And this change will be implemented, like the dinosaurs and even the bleat and brandishing their Neanderthal stone wedges.
