What was the alternative?
- somewhereoutth 5y agoBetter ventilation of indoor spaces, more utilisation of outdoor spaces, better sick pay provision, more WFH, etc, etc - essentially the complete mobilisation of society to defeat COVID, whatever it took. A dress rehearsal for climate change.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoI don't think covid was bad enough to warrant complete mobilisation of society. Climate change yes. If anything it hurt our fight against climate change. There were some short-term benefits like reduced travel but overall it has increased inflation a lot due to the massive costs of the lockdowns. We're all a bit poorer and guess what, poor people have less to spend on climate-positive products and tend to go for the cheaper but worse options. We should pick our battles for the ones that count.
