Recently in France a large group of protesters gathered to protest against an environmental related policy pushed by the French President Emmanuel Macron. However unlike most environmental linked protests this one has the protesters protesting against a policy that would aid the environment instead of polluting it.
This policy includes the removal of all coal powered stations and a few nuclear power stations, but that is not what these people are protesting against, no they are simply protesting against an increase in fuel tax.
This protests to me continues to show how such an important topic such as the environment hardly has any beneficial future ahead of itself, so long as we place comfort and convenience over the well being of our planet the banes of pollution shall never cease. We cannot rebuild the world in a better more Eco-friendly way by simply cleaning up trash and spreading awareness but by tackling the situation at it's core even if it means falling out of popularity. The French President seems to be the only politician with the guts to make the hard decisions for the benefit of the future and for that I hold him to the highest regard.
