the DN Culture manager Björn Wimans chronicle in Sunday’s DN gives rise to many thoughts about our way to live and consume the earth’s resources.
Driving accounts for a large part of carbon emissions and thus to global warming. We hunt leisure activities with the help of driving a car.
I read that about 100,000 people were in the Valleys in order to participate in any of the many skidloppen However. Most go for the fun of it, only a few have it as their livelihood.
are we prepared to go by car and then walk everything from 9 km to 90 km in Vasaloppsspåret? It would be interesting to get a rough calculation of the emissions for all transport to the start and the goal.
I don’t want to just point out the Vasaloppet for the list of different types of activities that require driving can be made very long. How to glesbygdaktiviteter as Vansbrosimmet, the O-ring in the orientation and the Swedish Rally?
Even the music festivals, popgalor, and dansbandveckan in Malung draws many visitors. I do not mean that all these recreational activities should cease, but perhaps we should all consider how we conserve the earth’s resources. Maybe it’s time to coin the phrase ”bilskam”?
with the reduction of emissions are discussed to talk the most about finding alternative fuels, it puts great faith in technical progress. But it will not be enough.
It is strange that it is rarely brought reasoning about all of these activities we do for fun. Maybe it should be brought into the debate on the klimatförsämringen and our common future?
