The actor and environmental activist Arnold Schwarzenegger advocated this Tuesday in Vienna for a “new environmental movement” that promotes the development of new ecological projects to produce clean energy.
“I call for change. Change is never easy, but this is an emergency and this emergency requires action”said the former governor of the US state of California (2003-2010) during the environmental summit “Austrian World Summit”held today in the Austrian capital.
Schwarzenegger, of Austrian origin, assured that it is possible “a green future, with robots, clean cement, sustainable seafood and companies that produce electricity with algae and waves.”
However, the 75-year-old Hollywood actor qualified that this requires “a new environmental movement, that adapts to the new reality”.
“That’s why I call for a new environmental movement based on the construction of clean energy projects that we need as soon as possible. We have to build, build and build”said.
“I’m not talking about the construction of new highways or infrastructure. I’m talking about environmental projects,” assured.
That requires, he added, that governments open the way for projects, with fewer bureaucratic obstacles, “because future economic growth must not be fueled by fossil fuels”.
Al “Austrian World Summit” Some 700 experts and political representatives attended this year, including the Austrian Federal President, the environmentalist Alexander Van der Bellen.
“Whatever climate protection costs today, that’s nothing compared to what it will cost us if we do nothing”said the president in his speech.
