Abolish private jets. The proposal comes from Green Europe and the Italian Left , who have included it in their electoral program, taking up a campaign already run by the European Greens.
"The 1% of the richest population on the planet pollutes twice as much as the poorest half . This is why we all pay the price of the whims of the super rich, as well as the next generations", we read on the Facebook pages of the two parties. .
"And we see it - add Ev and Si - every day on social media. Celebrities who flaunt their lifestyle with a high impact on the climate. Caribbean temperatures in huge houses in winter, polluting mega yachts for summer holidays. Private jets for short and unnecessary journeys, like an aperitif in Mikonos from Sardinia and back, in 24 hours. Tons and tons of CO2 emitted almost for fun. Madness ".
"So much - emphasizes Green Europe - that in order to meet the miserable objectives set for 2030 this elite should reduce their CO2 emissions by at least 30 times. What do you say, it will not be appropriate to help them? the use of private jets cannot and must not be a taboo. On the contrary, it is a necessity. For the health of our planet as much as of all of us ".
