...) from EELV greens to presidential, here is a subject to deepen a little ...
It contrasts with the high score in the last European elections (almost 20% in Wallonia, + 10% in France!), remember it was 3 years ago: https://www.econologie.com/europe-ecolog ... -4087.html
The fault of the crisis? To the wrong candidate (Joly on / I like him https://www.econologie.com/forums/campagne-e ... 10968.html but she still made ... huge blunders ...)? Or more generally at the start of ecology disgust? (must be said that "some" use it and abuse it a little too much ... repainting everything in "green" to better sell obviously ... people may not be so stupid as it is taught in business schools ...)
In short, all this to introduce an article trying to analyze the situation a little and which, moreover, cites the term "econology":

Jean-Claude Pierre, the wind farms and the future
"The electoral time is not that of the ecology". At the head of the Breton network Cohérences, Jean-Claude Pierre militates for citizen initiatives to "think more, spend less and live better".
Supporting examples.
Jean-Claude Pierre may be inexhaustible, his speech hits home. The proof ? Of the eight guests from previous editions of the Récollets conferences, he is the only one to return in the second year.
Hubert Reeves, Corinne Lepage and José Bové seduced, but it was Jean-Marie Pelt who invited him again. "His conference had pleased a lot," comments the botanist. His recipe? A touch of generous humanism and a lot of concrete experience. It was they who challenged Moselle listeners last year.
Jean-Claude Pierre is the president of the Cohérences network, which brings together one hundred and forty environmental associations from Brittany. At 75, he has campaigned for 42 years. Faced with global warming, the extinction of biodiversity, "the aberrations of the Thirty Glorious Years", it offers an arsenal of achievements and projects, techniques and citizens, which touch all areas of life. Examples.
• ECONOLOGY. - This is his leitmotif: economy is in ecology. “For the poorest, saving energy, insulating better means restoring purchasing power. We are not going to find solutions to all the aberrations of the Thirty Glorious Years, but we can already change course.
Rethinking the use of renewable energy means rethinking training, town planning and technology. "
• FERTILITY. - The scientific studies which link decline in fertility or fetal disturbances and chemical pollutants are increasing. “Pollution affects our vital processes.
A large number of couples face fertility problems. How will humanity deal with these questions? All of this forces us to rethink the precautionary principle. "
• INITIATIVE. - With it, citizens, and local elected representatives, have power. “In the Redon region, a group of people has created a cooperative collective investment society, where citizens and communities coexist. They will invest € 11 million in a 10 MW wind farm to supply electricity, excluding heating, to 21 inhabitants. "
• RISING WATERS. - “We know that the 2 ° C rise in temperatures will make the waters rise. A rise of 50 cm, it is the island of Sein, in Brittany, which is wiped off the map. But if it goes up more, it is most of the deltas of the world, that is the rice granaries of the planet and 250 million climate refugees. "
• HENS. - “In Belgium, an elected official has offered two chickens to any family with a garden. They are used to remove all organic waste! The trash cans are lighter, the omelet guaranteed. But who is ready for this constraint? “If we don't change, we won't find the pedagogy of tomorrow. Sharing experiences also means changing human relationships. "
• RAPINE. - "The planet is subject to our rapine. You have to change your mindset, your course. Think more, spend less and live better. We know that we cannot continue like this. "
