Gergely Karácsony: Budapest protects its forests
Gergely Karácsony recalled: the environmental protection law enables the environmental protection law to impose stricter environmental protection regulations on the local government than those contained in the national legislation.
For the August meeting of the Metropolitan Assembly
the mayor submits the amendment to the decree that does not allow clear-cutting to be used in nature conservation areas in Budapest.
We must protect our trees until the government abandons its unprecedentedly short-sighted and stupidly irresponsible intention to allow the speeding up of forests by preventing nature conservation rules
– said Gergely Karácsony.
According to him, it is time to give up the “short-sighted governmental haste towards the future, and at least the local governments should be able to look to the future and find green and sustainable solutions to the energy crisis and the climate crisis,” he underlined.
According to him, the responsible energy policy is the use of green energy sources and not cutting down forests. Gergely Karácsony believes that it would have taken him 12 years to realize this, he would have had 12 years to achieve a real and sustainable reduction in overhead costs by insulating the building and windows, with the help of renewable energies, and he would have even had the money to do so, if not from elsewhere. well, from sources.
