Small gestures for a new citizenship

Ecology is a permanent fight against our excessive desires of consumption. Moreover the general wasting discourages our personal efforts with their quite thin results.

Let us take part in the ecological effort, by recovering paper, glass, by consuming a minimum of packaged products, by driving smoothly.

Our small efforts seem to us quite ridiculous against the arrounding let go and wastings, far from discourage us, let us persevere in our efforts, by thinking in particular that by those we manifest our solidarity of others and of the ecosystem.

The man pollutes each place where it passes. Thus in order to counterbalance the pollution we generate, we should have small gestures which improve the environment. For example, to collect lying papers or objects to put them in a dustbin.

By consuming local products, we decrease transport and increasing social cohesion, let us support the creation of local ecosystems.

In its various activities, work, leisures or consumption, each of us contributes to the planetary future by supporting and developing the least polluting practices.

Hybrids or small?

The cars which emit less than 100 grams of CO2 to the kilometer should be generalized. The hybrid car is often heavy and top-of-the-range, small cars are less energy consuming, especially with improvements of the style cameless and stop and start.
Thus the CO2 rejection rate is of the same order for Citroen C1 as for Toyata Prius, around 104 grams for 1km. Moreover, the environmental impact of C1 is weaker, it is lighter, occupies less space and is easier to recycle. A display of instantaneous petrol consumption would flexible driving, which moreover would decrease the accidents.

To present the hybrid cars as a source of energy saving is more marketing!
The best solution to decrease energy consuption are:
to decrease the car use,
to drive slowly,
to use a small car!
