Around the youtuber Calie, three young people discuss a social issue: the environment. How to preserve nature? What daily actions? Which planet will we leave to future generations? They talk about it in our 100% Web program “What do you think?”
Around Caliwe brought together three young people aged 19 to 23 in an apartment to talk about a social issue that concerns us all: the defense of the environment.
Young people participating in the debate:
- Frédérique: 22 years old, student
- Eliott: 23 years old, young active
- Nathan: 19 years old, student
Is it up to the younger generation to save the planet? The debate is quickly launched because for the young people who participate in the discussion, the answer is clearly yes. As Frédérique points out: “we have to do something about that”.
Everyone must have the click
For Eliott, the actions that everyone does in their corner, put end to end, must initiate a mass movement to reverse the trend.
What daily actions to save the planet?
Must we necessarily have militant action to preserve the environment? Or are everyday gestures enough?
Frédérique, Nathan and Eliott explain to us what they do in their everyday life: limit the use of water and electricity, turn off the lights when leaving the rooms, sort their waste, do not leave electronic devices on standby, do not leave a cigarette butt on the floor.
But aren’t these actions too limited in the face of big companies that pollute? And what are politicians doing to change the situation?
We feel helpless. No matter how much I do my little selective sorting, it is undermined by the daily actions of large companies – Elliott, 23 years old
And if they had to project themselves, to go even further, what would they be ready to do? For Nathan, we should limit the use of smartphones and Wifi, which have a strong environmental impact. For Frédérique, even if she already travels a lot on foot, the use of transport should be limited, favoring walking and cycling.
Over the next twenty years, what will be the state of the planet? Calie asks the question to the three participants. For them, it’s clear, we must already prepare for a real transition. For Eliott, you have to imagine a world without meat and without oil. Preparing to become a vegetarian and to travel differently.
