art Million petition signs in 10 days? That should tell a government something: that a large number of citizens is unhappy with what it does, but also that they still believe in their democracy and the ability of course – right.
In response to pressure from unions of farmers and agricultural lobbyes, by July 8, the Legislature of the French passed a bill named the Loi Duplombawith many steps to develop large agricultural industrial – between them, the reauthorization of a prohibited insect commuted, acetamiprid. Beet farmers especially have no replacement to fight pests. However, there is a growing scientific involvement around Acetamiprid (enough, need to focus on it, for the use of the substance prohibited in France since 2018): It is involved Negative effects In the bee populationsand, according to the European Food Safety Authority, may affect damage Learn and Memory to people. Studies Show too that the entire class of chemicals belonging to acetamiprid, neonicotinoids, can cause childbirth defects and reduce fertility in man.
By passing the law, the escape of cancer and activist Fleur Beteau could not possess himself. “You’re on the side of cancer and we’ll make sure it’s all known!” he shouted to the legislature from a balcony. Well, the meeting is sure. On Sunday night, a petition Posted by a 23-year-old student calling for the government to reconsider the law dispute with the 1M signature signature and no indications to be slowly. At the time of writing this 1.3m – well ahead of 500,000 signatures that allow parliarament to bring the petition debate, and to distance the most signatures Since introducing the official petition site in 2019.
There are many, the macro reasons why Loi Duplombombomba would not have been passed. At one time where Europe could quarrel the above In its agriculture and facilitate a transition of lasting, the changing farming, the law, often speaks, a large step in the wrong direction. It is not that farmers do not need help, they need help with transfer to Regenerative agriculture. That means a series of practices (lessuced, reduced use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, cover crops, and rotational grazing and natural fertilisers) that can increase biodiversity and restore soil health, and in turn help soils to retain more water and become carbon sinks. According to Rattan Lal, the Director of Ohio State University Carbon Management and Sequestation Center, Regenerative Agriculture worldwide can exit between 1bn and 3bn ton of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere per year. That is, change in the way we farm our farm can exchange up to 8% of Annual exit of global (Approximately three times the impact of elimination of aviation throughout).
Then there is a certain cause of backlash against Loi Duplombombombomba: acetamiprid. I know that the issues seem to attract all, and it is not surprising that food and health can be the main terrain it will happen. Both appear in a daily road, instead of having trouble very large enough to seal someone’s head. Perhaps our brain is better able to make threats by introducing a dangerous chemical in the food system, than systemic threats and effects of systemic effects of climate and ecosystem. And that’s what the Loi duplombombombombombombombombombomba reactions, and what does it mean outside Tanya.
It is not a secret that faith in democracy has stopped almost anywhere. But France experienced a more acute reduction, with French voters declared more annoyance than their neighbors in Germany and Italy. In the middle of it, the Research Institute Petin Communities is suggested that environment may be true A single-sided issue For French voters – a generation, different from the project that can give a sense of national purpose. on Most recent reportThe Destin learns 87% of the French crisis and environmental crisis than a more political issue than an unsatisfied, retirement, immigration or inconsistency.
The French government has a chance here. Not only do the right thing, but to show voters that democracy works, that activation makes consequences, that the youngest voices become one of the most powerful. It will get the chance to turn around and say, as did Charles de Gaulle before, I have you!
