An ass hunter appeared in Budapest – VIDEO
Laudato Si’ animator Zoltán Fenyősi became a litter hunter to collect the many litters and trash that the people of Budapest throw away in public spaces. We accompanied a columnist member of the article commando on one of his deployments.
“He often appears near Bottomless Lake, why does he come here?”
“Because I’m a strip hunter.” This is a new type of occupation. I walk and collect the articles, more and more of them are thrown away. Three years ago, at a Laudato Si’ training, I started on this line in the name of ecological self-conversion. I have been collecting discarded articles for years, I believe that I can do something with this for the common good. Where I take it regularly, they probably throw away the articles less.
– What is this Laudato Si’ you mentioned?
“It’s nothing but.” Pope Francis green encyclical, which he published in January 2015. In my view, it is the second most important document after the Bible.
This is a series of conscious environmental and creation protection recommendations, a work program if you like.
The essence of this is that, following the papal encyclical, the bishops should plan it, and the parish priests should implement it in the parishes. A Laudato Si’ circle of three to five people should help in this, so that believers and non-believers preserve their place of residence and the integrity of our created world. We still have room to move forward in this.
– As a hunter, how do you see how much we pay attention to our environment?
– Our dogs are slowly cleaning their rooms, but some people are still not “street clean”, i.e. they lack respect for our environment. Young people complain that we have ruined their future, but there is a terrible amount of pollution from their side as well. Even here at Feneketlen tó, after a weekend party, he is left with a huge pile of trash, he can’t even put his butt in its place. Irresponsibility and carelessness can be felt on them. Instead of looking for responsibility, what we need to do is to look out for each other, we need the good, trusting that a good example is contagious.
