Live Poll: Can Good Things Come from the COVID-19 Crisis?

One would hope so. However, if we look at Germany which is considered one of the more 'green' countries:

-Cruise lines have been subsidized so they can continue operating, even though it's a polluting business that would hardly be missed if it disappeared

-the economy minister (from a "Christian" party) called it a patriotic duty to go shopping around Christmas in order to boost the economy

And I suspect that like after a war, people will make up for what they missed and consume even more as soon as possible.

Indeed, things do look badly sometimes, and if things are bad in Germany, Mexico is even worst. Our goverment doesn't care at all about the environment and they are tying the future of our economy to big oil investments. Worst of all, they are producing low quality oil that no one wants to buy because its extremely toxic, so they are blocking green energy to force local power plants to use that, poisoning us all.

However, there's hope elsewhere, I saw New Zealand declared the Climate Emergency, that Denmark will not allow new oil platforms in their seas, and Biden seems to have at least good intentions in the USA, hopefully Georgia will avoid a Republican control of the senate so they can pass that legislation and move other countries in that way.

Added, great suggestion!
