Schluss mit der Ökomoral
How we save the world without thinking about it all the time
“Political commitment is more important than private renunciation of consumption,” says Michael Kopatz. Moral appeals only create a bad mood, but do not change our routine. The Fridays for Future movement, which is fighting for new structures appropriate to the situation rather than for personal changes in behavior, is currently showing how successful protest can be. Kopatz calls on politicians to live up to their responsibility and set intelligent standards and limits – so that ‘eco’ becomes routine and the raised index fingers disappear.
