"As a substitute member of the Temporary Committee on Climate Change, I would like to highlight the huge success achieved by the European Parliament at the global conference in Bali.
The European Parliament must become a visionary pressing for permanent sustainable development. What do we have to do next? Firstly, we cannot slacken our efforts. The European Union must encourage investment in research and development aimed at developing efficient technologies that require less energy.
We cannot talk solely about CO2. Setting increasingly strict ecological conditions is not the correct solution: by doing so we risk putting our small and medium-sized enterprises in Europe at a disadvantage. We must not resist new ideas such as the strategy of helping the climate to recover through the medium of water.
A team of Slovak and Czech scientists led by Michal Kravčík, an eminent expert in using water to recover arid urban spaces, has prepared a new water paradigm. Concentration of rainwater in water containers is a simple, quick and very effective solution. I believe that storing rainwater for future use instead of letting it go down the drain is a good strategic solution not only in the US but also in Europe. I trust that the Commission and the Council will support innovators’ ideas and that the use of new water paradigm will get the support it deserves in Europe too."@en1
