Book recommendation
I just finished reading Alexander Neubacher 's book "Ökofimmel." First of all, thanks to the donors :)
In general, "eco-mania" is about the often misguided environmental policy and the fact that it is rarely questioned.
"The Green Khmers must have somehow overlooked the fact that it's not genetic engineering that's responsible for the bee deaths and monocultures in the fields, but so-called biofuel plants," Neubacher summarizes after describing the overall negative benefits of biodiesel and discussing the opportunities of genetic engineering. This sentence sums up the book quite well: sometimes amusing, sometimes sharp, but always witty. I recently bought an A++ refrigerator and usually unplug my router during the day, so I consider myself to be relatively eco-conscious. Accordingly, I don't always agree with Neubacher (e.g., I definitely believe that a jute bag can be used seven times and I don't think that overly thick sewer pipes give us the right to "consume" 28 bathtubs of water a day forever). Nevertheless, it's one of the best books I've read in a long time, as it helps you take a more sober look at environmental protection, question the statements of doomsday prophets, and also think more carefully about what ultimately helps the environment, both politically and economically. With that in mind, please read it and share your opinion below this post!
Have fun, Torge
PS: If a green Khmer really wants to do something about the bee extinction, I recommend the bee feast ;)
