I’ve been thinking a lot about the vote on March 8. Quite a few people around me are still undecided or say we can always do more later. But “later” feels different when you’re 20. I’ll likely live with the consequences of this decision for a very long time. We can already see changes: glaciers are shrinking, heat waves are getting worse, and floods or mudslides seem to happen more often. That honestly worries me. And when researchers say the longer we wait, the harder and more expensive it becomes, that makes sense to me. So I keep coming back to the same question: wouldn’t it be smarter to invest now while we can still do this in a planned and stable way? It’s about renewable energy, upgrading buildings, developing new technologies. That can also mean jobs here in Switzerland and being less dependent on energy imports. Of course it costs money. But doing nothing probably isn’t free either, it just means paying later. (and more!) I’m not saying the proposal is perfect. But in the end, it feels like waiting is the bigger risk. So I’ll most likely vote yes. How do you feel about it? submitted by /u/lil-h1ppie
