| Message | Our party believes that wood is a decent, clean and CO2-neutral material and is an excellent alternative to more polluting materials. We fear that by limiting felling to fire breaks, the use of wood as a material will decline in favour of synthetical materials, which are far more polluting. |

| Message | It's like if you want to save water for dishwashing and the like, use plastic disposable things. Yes it is plausible, but isn't plastic non-biodegradable. It will also cause to another problem. I'm not accusing or opposing you in anyway, but I think you're reaction is like "Atleast we can save water. Who cares about plastic? This thing is about water not about plastic disposal." It's well I think an unlikely answer. I do not believe in the fact that if you want to save something, we must sacrife another thing. It's hypocrisy. Try to zoom out. Don't zoom in on just one topic. There are alternatives. |
