The situation the article describes is similar to present day Ukraine. You don't see that much recycling, but you don't see litter either, and forests in particular are trash free as opposed to Poland's. Also opposite to Poland, the Church in Ukraine promotes clean wilderness, going so far as to put signs "Enter forest as you would enter a temple". Polish Church on the other hand denounces ecology-friendly thinking as examples of "rotten West", leftism, atheism, "civilization of death" (After John Paul II), death of family and moral values, "ecologism" (a term they coined where they compare ecology to totalitarian regimes).
- kolinko 7y agoYeah, I still find it hilarious that the Polish Church is anti-ecology :D
- dreen 7y agoTheres two catholic churches in Poland. One consists of a minority of hardcore evangelicals and the other is just normal christian people who are quite reasonable. Unfortunately, unlike in the US, these two groups are forced to coexist as a single entity and are governed by the first kind of church. But this is changing with the second group simply leaving altogether, slowly but steadily. edit: btw, John Paul II was from the first group.
