Change is everybody's consern in Loimaa

How do normal people adjust to the climate change? We asked citizens of Loimaa,  to answer few questions.

1. Who is responsible for climate change and whose task is to prevent it?
2. Why is it their task?
3. Is there something that you could do about it?


Marketta Halme
1. It concerns everyone.
2. Everybody produce pollution and buy products, which are made in factories which pollute.
3. I could use public transport, environmentally friendlier products and avoid littering.

 
Manu Soininmäki
1. Well, it’s everybody’s task
2. Every country is responsible in their own way, but principally industrialised countries. e.g. USA which is doing nothing about it.
3. Everybody can an effect by thinking solutions. Is it reasonable to use car if transportation can be handled easily by foot?

 
Jesse Saarimäki
1. It is every citizens concern. You have to think a little bit how you live and how you act.
2. It cannot be brought from up to down. There is no government or anyone who can roll over. The change has to start from ordinary people and continue there to bigger arenas.
3. You can choose your transportation forms and as well what you buy. You can travel by train instead of car. I don’t have a car so I use bicycle, train and buss.


Olavi Tähtinen
1. Everyone
2.Those actions which spoil air quality should be reduced.
3. I believe there’s not much what I can do. One issue which should be taken care of is useless street racing. It is one of the most important things concerning this city.


Incognito 1.
1. Everyone is responsible
2. We are all together spoiling our common air with all our habits and routines.
3. I don’t travel much, but all kinds of transportation leaves pollution in the air. Burning etc. Pollution comes from the wide field. I cannot have direct effect for example on industry, but I can choose what I consume. You can buy products which need less energy etc. I believe that the solution is to thing endlessly better solutions.


Incognito 2.
1. There are those organisations which should take care of this kind of problems, but no name comes to my mind. All together it is everybody’s issue.
2. Nowadays people live without thinking climate. All this industry and consumption together with growing use of fuel, there is no way to hold back these things. There is no such instance which could monitor and prevent this.
3. I cannot do much, but my house belongs to district heating. Well, that’s something isn’t it.
