  • Wood is only good if you produce it regionally. Cutting down forrests to produce wood pellets for heating in Western Europe is very bad. Wood is most of the time not as sustainable as one might think.

    Oil and gas are used as much as they are for a reason, but it’s also the reason why we face an ecological tragedy.

    It’s not that hydrogen is perfect, but it has more of a place in the future than the other ones.



  • If you rotate your crops the soil does not get tired. If you need to water your crops, then you plant the wrong ones.

    Good organic farming thereby is not as monocultural as conventional farming, because you can only use physical methods to fight weed.

    Also if you look at the landuse we have it’s very small compared to older times, at least speaking for Europe. The problem is mostly not that we use the space, but how we use and destroy it with conventional farming. Also most of the landuse is for animal food, which can easily be reduced. If you extensively put the farm animals on grass again the nature can also benefit.






  • At least speaking for Germany we used a.lot more space in nature in the past. The difference is, that in the past it gave room for animals to live, elwhereas today fields are like a desert for wildlife. As long as we had agriculture in a way where it gave place for wildflowers and thereby insects and used hedges, which protected lots of other species, we did not have that much of an ecological problem.

    Of course it’s better to use less space and have less of a risk for famines, but without the surrounding ecosystems, which we are destroying, this also does not bear much value.
