To be or not to be…

Now I have been a member of both the presidency and the council board on Osterøy one year. Still no goal of any political career. It both is and was only one thing that has motivated me for this work: The battle for the planet we live on is also to be habitable and viable for future generations. - But what does this mean? Does that mean I think that we do not take care of it well enough as of today? Ja, it means. In the highest level. That means I really think we're going to face up to what is happening and how our luxurious lifestyle affects anyone other than ourselves. It affects people who do not have as much money as us. It affects us all through climate change, whether it is about more unstable weather, poles melting, water rising, the planet's biodiversity (diversity of species on Earth) which also affects us directly. us humans. This I believe, and I thought it long. When Nigel and I purchased electric car 13 years ago, there was extreme. It is no longer. Skeptics bombards us still with arguments that "electric car is also not environmentally friendly". Neither producing or conducting. Nei. It is not. It is not the solution. - But for me, this is about doing what little I can. Draw something in a direction where one makes it a can for it to turn in the right direction despite the fact that it can be difficult to find the right solutions underway.

I've had a great experience this weekend as a judge during the choral competition Corinth cup Steinkjer, but experienced again the same as I have experienced before and that commissioner for environment- and transport in Oslo did when she train to Barcelona with girlfriend. For how I went from Osterøy Steinkjer? Jo, with took. - And it did not go unnoticed in jest word accent during choir competition in Steinkjer.

– but why take the train? Your journey do not want to affect the climate. The plane goes anyway. - And power train uses is not only environmentally friendly.

Nei. Travelling requires energy. It is absolutely right. - And I do not think any aircraft diaper canceled just because of me alone, but now comes the final point.

I must do what I can, and for me it's not extremely in any direction to do what I can to help, to set the standard I think we must live by if we truly believe that the world swayed, to set an example that "it is possible". It is possible to toge from Arna to Oslo, from Oslo to Trondheim, from Trondheim to Steinkjer - and home again. If I really think that it is we humans that affect the soil in a direction that is not good for future generations, I can not wait for the politicians (jadda, know that I am among them now…) decides to close the air.

We must do our. I sleep on the train, I work on the train, read on the train, listening to music and looking at the snow out of the window. Observes minus nine Dovre right now.

Ja, if I believe that we humans are helping to make the soil to a place it becomes increasingly difficult to stay, I must do what I can with my little, small steps in a direction I now see that more and more people are taking.

When I in the presidency earlier this year suggested that we should work for environmental certification in the municipality, looked more by the Presidency at me. What is this? Miljøfyrtårn?

Nei, we are not extreme anymore, and it's not all aspects of getting a lighthouse certification which is the simplest, but for me this is about that when my days are numbered here on Earth, I could si yes, I made an effort. Ja, I could certainly have done more, men nei, my claim is now that it is not extremely taking the train from Arna to Steinkjer. It is extremely, is choosing fly again and again and again, whether in job- or holiday context when all factual knowledge suggests that flying is one of the worst sources of pollution we have and it helps that future generations can not enjoy the planet like us. Will you be the generation that "knew everything, but chose to ignore it "? It would not.

I do everything I can not to be fanatical or alarmist, for I do not think anything on. What I believe in, is that many people together can make a difference and that we who live here in Norway have the chance to do our.

Therefore diaper I for a year sida politician. On my little show, I try to put the environment on the agenda. For mine barn, for others in the world.

– og ja, if you are still thinking of the long train journey my: Of course I do it also because I hope someone reads it and maybe once or twice selects train in front of airplane, choose a smaller flight. Together we are many…
