"A Uachtaráin, arís is ábhar an-tábhachtach é seo, b’fhéidir an t-ábhar is tábhachtaí idir lámha againn, mar is ábhar é atá rítthábhachtach don chomhshaol agus dár saoránaigh. Is é sin clár gníomhach don chomhshaol 2020 agus ba mhaith liom mo bhuíochas a chur in iúl don Choimisinéir agus don Fheisire Gerbrandy as ucht an mholadh a thug siad d’Uachtarántacht na hÉireann mar gheall ar an dul chun cinn a rinne siad faoin tuarascáil seo. Tabharfaidh mé an teachtaireacht sin ar ais don rialtas agus beidh áthas orthu é a chloisteáil.
The catchphrase ‘Living well, within the limits of our planet’ is a good one, and one with which many people can identify – as indeed is ‘We have not inherited the Earth from our ancestors, we have borrowed it from our children’. That reminds me of what people often say when they take over a sports organisation or a business: they say that their aim is to leave the organisation on a better footing than when they were appointed.
I think this is something that most people in Europe would want to do. For that reason we should be tapping into the goodwill that is there, particularly now amongst the younger generation, regarding what needs to be done for the environment.
Young people have a very different attitude to older generations and a far greater awareness, and that is why it is right that we should have, first of all, a programme for 2020, followed by binding targets for 2030 and a vision for 2050. This will create a stable environment for investment and help us to have jobs and growth and, particularly, to nurture the green economy.
Some aspects which are mentioned are worth repeating. One is particularly in relation to recycling and ensuring that only goods that cannot be recycled are dumped. That is something I think that most people would do, but we need to create an awareness about it, because many people are actually not aware of what can be recycled and what cannot, and what they should do with it."@en1
