NRC Opinie: Hef statiegeld op alles

Op 7 november 2022 op pagina 17 in NRC:

Activisten trokken vorige week veel aandacht voor klimaatactie. Maar wat voor klimaatactie moet er komen? We redden het klimaat niet als consumenten zich massaal aan iets vastplakken. Het is zaak om de industrie aan te pakken, maar de consument te ontzien.

Een cruciale maatregel als een hogere btw voor vervuilende producten in ruil voor het lager belasten van fysieke arbeid is al vaker bepleit en de eerste stap. Daarnaast is statiegeld op alles een realistisch middel om de industrie te verduurzamen en het gedrag van consumenten te veranderen.

Als individuele consumenten wordt ons gedrag grotendeels bepaald door industriële producten. We gebruiken het zoals het ontworpen is en ons verkocht wordt. Veel wordt gemaakt om zoveel mogelijk van te produceren, tegen zo laag mogelijke kosten. Als de eigenschap nieuw of modieus erbij hoort, dan gooien we het zeker na een kort gebruik snel weer weg. Denk aan ‘fast fashion’.

De industrie kan grondstoffen nu als kostenpost externaliseren. Het veroorzaken van afval wordt niet in het product verrekend. Komt elk product als een boemerang weer terug bij de producent, dan moet het duurzamer ontworpen worden. Een bedrijf dat dat nu al doet, vist in een kleine vijver van bewuste consumenten, maar dat kunnen we onmogelijk allemaal zijn.

Statiegeld is eenvoudig. Als er voor de industrie een ‘level playing field’ overeind blijft (geen uitzonderingen) dan is het te implementeren. Beginnen we er in de hele EU mee dan volgt de rest van de wereld vanzelf, omdat de EU wereldwijd de toon zet met strenge regels. Politici durven hiervoor te kiezen zodra massa’s burgers hier op grote schaal om vragen.

Hulp nodig!

Deze tekst kwam niet van chatgpt.

Het probleem met deze zin is dat we met alle informatie nu blind moeten vertrouwen of de tekst wel of niet gegenereerd is door de computer of door een mens.

+Read more...

Op LinkedIn betrap ik nu al heel vaak dat teksten niet van de mensen afkomt die ik in eerste instantie volg. Mensen die eerst 3 zinnen tekst schreven en nu uit het niets hele essays posten. Gevolg, als ik het niet vertrouw stop ik met lezen. En daar zit het gevaar. Gebrek aan vertrouwen,achterdochtig zijn en je ogen sluiten. En dat is problematisch voor toekomstige communicatie.

Nieuwsupdate. Deze week kwam naar buiten dat "the godfather of ai" nu vraagt om de ontwikkeling te remmen. https://nos.nl/artikel/2473634-godfather-van-kunstmatige-intelligentie-verlaat-google-en-waarschuwt-voor-ai ondanks deze nieuwsartikelen zie ik weinig schot in de zaak.

Ik wordt er een beetje moedeloos van, ook als ik merk dat mensen nog blind zijn voor de problemen die het met zich mee kan gaan brengen, het komt vaak dat mensen het niet begrijpen. Ik moest mijn moeder stap voor stap laten zien wat de software kon. We moeten mensen boven uitleggen en laten zien wat de voordelen en nadelen kunnen zijn.

Met dat laatste heb ik hulp nodig, deze boodschap kan ik niet alleen overbrengen, dat zullen we allemaal moeten doen. Alleen dan kan deze petitie kans van slagen hebben

Betaald parkeren is uitgesteld door zorgen van bewoners, bedrijven en overige instellingen. Maar dit betekent niet dat de strijd is gestreden. Uitstel is namelijk geen afstel! Dit toont wel degelijk aan dat we samen een verschil kunnen maken. Wie er nog niet in gelooft is hopelijk nu wel overtuigd. Steun de petitie en laten we samen met een beter plan komen!

Samen zijn we sterker!!!

Urgent Action Needed: End the Plight of Sudanese Asylum Seekers in the Netherlands Amid Ongoing Crisis and War in Sudan"

Your Excellency,

Allow us to start with the warnings issued by international organisations that Sudan will suffer an unimaginable humanitarian catastrophe if the ongoing war does not stop permanently.

The intense fighting is putting the lives, safety, and security of civilians at grave risk all over Sudan. The new escalation in violence is exacerbating an already devastating situation and making people desperately need urgent help. At least more than 500 people have died and thousands injured since the power struggle between Sudan's army and paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (RSF) descended into fighting almost four weeks ago.

The fighting has pushed Sudan's population to near breaking point, with food becoming scarce, electricity cut off and many hospitals shut down. To make things worse, multiple aid agencies have suspended operations, and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said it was gearing up for potentially tens of thousands of people including children, women, and the elderly, fleeing to neighbouring countries.

The UN refugee agency also stated that “the ongoing brutal conflict has forced more than 100,000 Sudanese Refugees to flee neighboring countries, and at least 20,000 Sudanese refugees to flee to Chad from Darfur”, which it describes as “one of the regions most affected by violence of Sudan, and where growing instability might cause much larger displacement in the coming weeks.”

Regrettably, the situation in Sudan remains volatile. There are no positive signs on the horizon about an imminent end to the fighting, and people in Sudan are still living in fear every single day. Bodies are scattered in the streets, children, and women are among the victims. It seems the voice of bullets has prevailed over the voice of wisdom, sanity and the sanctity of our homeland and the safety of its citizens.

The signatories believes that the dilemma of the transitional period lies in the existence of multiple heads of power and decision-making centres. In addition, the de facto authority is neither elected nor decentralized and is unable to take decisive decisions. We are particularly saddened that once again, avaricious, and power-hungry men have trampled upon the needs and wishes of Sudanese people.

In the face of this tragic scene, the world watched with interest how the concerned countries hastened to evacuate their diplomatic missions and nationals from Sudan, which left an impression among many that the crisis is likely to deteriorate rapidly.

However, we are particularly saddened to see these countries racing to evacuate their nationals from Sudan, while they stand by and watch the catastrophic scene in this country. The paradox here is that the majority of these countries provide support to the two warring parties, the army and the Rapid Support Forces, in accordance with their interests. We are also shocked to learn that some of these countries have ruled out introducing safe and legal routes for Sudanese fleeing the war to seek asylum in their soil.

The signatories strongly believes that the relevant Dutch authorities should grant all Sudanese asylum seekers the right to settle immediately and without any conditions under their applicable legislations, and in the light of the ongoing war in Sudan.

Those unfortunate people and their families have endured years of uncertainty and are traumatized as a result, let alone the psychological, emotional, and financial problems they are experiencing. Many suffer from panic attacks, nightmares, and psychological problems due to the long wait for decisions regarding their asylum applications.

Undoubtedly, the ongoing war in their country, the lack of security and basics elements of normal life for the citizens there and the constant concern for the safety of their families have exacerbated the suffering of these people and made their psychological and mental conditions worse than ever.

We hereby strongly appeal to your esteemed administration to take the necessary measures to end the plight of Sudanese asylum seekers, their long suffering and grant them asylum to prove that the Netherlands is at the forefront of sponsoring countries for refugees fleeing repression and persecution in their country in search of safe havens.

Sincerely,
